Our Vision: Uniting for a Sustainable Future

Humanity faces significant challenges as the Earth undergoes rapid and transformative changes. A strong geodetic supply chain and geo-information system is essential to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Around the world, there’s an increasing demand for skilled professionals who can collect, process, analyze, and interpret geo-information.

To meet this growing need, thousands of new professionals will be required in the geo-sector. These individuals deserve access to high-quality training and a solid foundation to kickstart their careers with the best resources and education available.

By harnessing the power of GeoAI, we can unlock potential far beyond what we once thought possible, driving innovation and accelerating progress toward a more sustainable world. We are committed to empowering individuals with the skills they need to succeed in this evolving field and make a meaningful impact on the future.

Our Mission: Learn by Doing – Master the Skills You Need Immediately

Geo-ICT Training Center, Nederland - Over ons

At Geo-ICT Training Center, we specialize in delivering hands-on training in the dynamic field of geodesy, which focuses on measuring the size, extent, orbit, and orientation of the Earth, as well as its gravitational field and sea level.

Frequently Asked Questions

While both CAD and GIS involve working with spatial data, they serve different purposes and are used in distinct professional contexts:

  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is primarily used for creating detailed technical drawings and models. It’s widely used by architects, engineers, and designers to develop 2D and 3D representations of buildings, infrastructure, machinery, and other objects. CAD is ideal for precision modeling within clearly defined technical environments.
  • GIS (Geographic Information System) focuses on the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic or spatial data. GIS is used to map and analyze real-world features, understand spatial relationships, and support decision-making in fields such as urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and public health.

In summary:
CAD is centered on designing and modeling physical objects, while GIS is designed to interpret, manage, and analyze spatial information tied to real-world locations.

Both ArcGIS and QGIS are powerful Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms, but they differ in licensing, flexibility, and typical use cases.

  • ArcGIS, developed by Esri, is a commercial platform widely used in professional and enterprise environments. It offers an extensive suite of tools for data analysis, management, and map visualization. Known for its user-friendly interface and robust technical support, ArcGIS requires a paid license and can be costly—especially for larger teams or organizations.
  • QGIS is an open-source alternative available free of charge. It provides a broad range of GIS functionalities with a strong focus on flexibility and customizability. QGIS is popular among researchers, educators, NGOs, and professionals seeking a budget-friendly and highly adaptable solution. It benefits from an active global user community and a rich ecosystem of plugins.

In summary:
Choose ArcGIS if you need enterprise-level support, seamless integration, and advanced out-of-the-box tools. Opt for QGIS if you prefer a free, open-source solution with extensive customization options and a strong community backing.

The Copernicus program is the European Union’s flagship initiative for Earth observation. It provides accurate, timely, and freely accessible data to support environmental monitoring and security across the globe.

Combining data from a dedicated fleet of Sentinel satellites, in-situ sensors, and specialized services, Copernicus delivers insights on a wide range of topics, including climate change, air quality, land use, marine ecosystems, and natural disasters.

The program is designed to serve a broad audience—including policymakers, scientists, businesses, and the general public—with the goal of enabling data-driven decisions that promote sustainability, resilience, and global environmental awareness.

At Geo-ICT Training Center, Netherlands, our Blended Learning format combines live instruction with self-paced practice for an effective and flexible learning experience. We currently offer 82 Blended Learning courses.
