Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for part-time or distance GIS courses?

I have an IT background with a degree in Business Studies and am interested in finding out more about this line of work.

Maynooth offer a hdip in g.i.s and remote sensing, with the option of upgrading to an m.sc by thesis

Thanks Efla,

Have you completed this course yourself? If you have how did you find it?

I didn't do the hdip, I ended up becoming a sociolgist

I did my undergrad in geography in 2007, but I went back last week for a GREP module in GIS with the course director. I cannot speak highly enough of the department - we had the full attention of both lecturers for 6 hours per day, full access to the ESRI packages for the course, recent data to work with, and supporting course manuals.

A good few of my friends did the hdip after we graduated, and all are employed in the area. They have a good range of contacts in both human and physical departments (EPA, Teagasc and various other state research bodies). It will be a very useful skill to have over the coming years....

Check out NUIM for sure, it's quite specialised in that area...

I would highly recommend asking this question in the weather & geography forums of boards for additional information.
