Program details

Overview

Building on skills from the GIS Essentials micro-credential, this 135-hour program develops GIS knowledge further through courses on performing and automating GIS geoprocessing, working with and analysing raster data, and scripting GIS processes. A project applying the skills and knowledge gained concludes the micro-credential.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry to this micro-credential is by internal progression: the program page's stated admission requirement is successful completion of Okanagan College's GIS Essentials Micro-credential. No English or French language-test score, minimum grade, age condition, portfolio or other entrance requirement is published. Once admitted, learners must complete a minimum of 50 per cent of the 135-hour micro-credential through Okanagan College and achieve at least 60 per cent in each of its four required courses to receive the credential. The program is delivered fully online, asynchronously with tutor support and no scheduled synchronous sessions, and covers geoprocessing, raster data analysis and scripting automation. The program was listed open for applications with a start date of February 16, 2027, running through May 19, 2027.
