Geospatial information link locational (that is, where things are) and descriptive (data associated with each location) information. We use points (i.e. utility poles, mine sights, etc.), lines (i.e. river centrelines) or polygons (i.e. land parcels, counties) to model reality. The technology allows storage, analysis and presentation of information.

An undergraduate degree in a related field of study such as geography, forestry, geology, resource management, science, engineering, or computer science. Or, relevant industry experience.
You have a background in a spatially-based discipline as either a university degree or relevant industry experience. Here is your opportunity to apply Geographic Information System technology to manage the “map-side” of that discipline. This intensive program encompasses aspects of the Remote Sensing Advanced Diploma Program.
Come to COGS; combine your background and abilities with this exciting technology.
