What is the Best route to getting a GIS certification?
My wife would Like to get her GIS certification. She has about 5 years of experience with obtaining, researching, and analyzing topographical maps with an environmental Company. Having just been laid Off she would like to get her GIS certification. Should she Take 12 Hours at a local community college (1 semester) or Can she simply get it online though a place such as 'GIS certification institute.' Given our slowly but surely diminishing bank account would a GIS certification From an online 'School' be almost as Good as if it came from a community college given her experience?
Taking a Course at a college won't get you a certification, just education and credits to apply towards a geography major. Some colleges may have a Series of Courses and offer a certificate or emphasis program.
There are seminars, about 4-12 hours Over 1 or 2 days, put on by the makers of the GIS Software and they Cost in the $400 Range last I checked. ESRI offers an online course as Well.
