The Advanced Diploma in GIS Applications (ADGISA) provides skills training in geographic information systems (GIS) to university and college graduates who wish to strengthen their employment opportunities in GIS applications - an area that is in high demand around the world. Come with questions and learn about both the face-to-face and/or the online program.

Program Options
Students have the option of taking the ADGISA Program either face-to-face or online. The face-to-face is an intensive, 8 month program where students have the opportunity to interact with instructors and colleagues in a classroom setting and engage in a work-study practicum. The online version extends over a 16 month period and has been designed for those unable to relocate to Nanaimo, British Columbia for the face-to-face option.

GIS Skills Acquisition
In both options, students learn how to will learn to use GIS as a spatial information and problem-solving tool in addressing real-world issues or problems. The face-to-face program has a 9 credit work-study practicum; the online version includes course work with a number of GIS project assignments. The range of GIS skills acquired in each version of the ADGISA program are the same – a skill set where graduates are well positioned to secure full-time employment in the field of GIS.

GIS Software and Program Materials
ESRI’s ArcGIS is the main software package used in the delivery of these programs. Published materials and instructional courseware packages provide support for some of the courses. A select number of course modules, available through ESRI’s Virtual Campus, are incorporated into the delivery of specific courses. Use of these modules enables students and instructors to keep pace with changes in the world’s most popular GIS package – ArcGIS.
