Program details
Overview
Working professionals already employed in fields such as business, engineering, planning, or forestry are the intended audience for this flexible-format certificate, which offers a basic level of geomatics certification. GIS instruction is built to be accessible for those unable to leave the workforce for conventional full-time or part-time study, and coursework uses industry-standard GIS, GPS, and LiDAR and satellite remote-sensing software alongside UAV drone mission-planning technology.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.33 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: This advanced certificate requires successful completion of 60 credits from a diploma, associate degree, or applied/academic degree at an accredited post-secondary institution, with an average GPA of at least 2.33. Applicants without an accredited post-secondary credential are usually required to complete academic upgrading first and are encouraged to apply at least a year in advance; in that case admission also draws on high-school transcripts. No specific IELTS or TOEFL score is published on the program page. Candidates must demonstrate competency with common computer software, including spreadsheets, word processing and graphics applications. A complete application requires the application form plus official transcripts from all post-secondary education, and high-school transcripts if there is no post-secondary credential. The standard file deadline is one month before the program start, though late applications are accepted if space permits, and part-time enrolment is available. The program begins in October each Fall term.
