How can just a few lines of Python code turn geodata into smart insights? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to analyze vector and raster data, build geospatial scripts, and quickly visualize your results. With personal guidance, self-paced online modules, and real-world assignments, you’ll gain practical skills you can use right away.
If you work in GIS or remote sensing, you’ve probably noticed—Python is everywhere. And with good reason. Python plays a growing role in geo-information workflows, from spatial data analysis and interactive mapping to full automation of GIS processes.
GIS and remote sensing combine skills from computer science, geography, math, and engineering. To succeed and stay future-proof in this space, coding is essential. Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world and has firmly established itself as a go-to for geospatial work.
It allows you to work faster, smarter, and at scale—making you more valuable to your team and more attractive to employers and clients across the industry.
In this course, you’ll learn to work efficiently with geospatial data using Python. The emphasis is on hands-on practice. Rather than focusing only on theory, you’ll apply what you learn right away using real datasets and industry-standard tools.
To begin, you’ll dive into essential libraries like GeoPandas, Rasterio, Shapely, and Folium. These tools will help you load, manipulate, and visualize spatial data on interactive maps. You’ll also perform operations like buffering and overlays, then automate them using reusable Python scripts.
As your skills develop, you’ll explore how to structure spatial data, connect different sources, and apply spatial logic with Python. Thanks to the flexible module design and one-on-one support, you can move at your own pace while getting help when needed.
Whether you’re just starting with Python or aiming to expand your geospatial capabilities, this course equips you with practical, job-ready skills you can immediately apply in real projects.
Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds—live interaction and flexible self-paced study—so you can build real, job-ready skills in geospatial development with Python. You’ll gain practical experience with tools like GeoPandas, Rasterio, and Shapely, and learn how to streamline GIS workflows through automation.
We begin with a live session where you’ll jump right into working with real-world geodata. With guidance from experienced GIS professionals, you’ll learn to process and analyze spatial data and automate repetitive tasks using Python.
Next, our self-paced modules let you build your skills step by step. You’ll work with spatial operations like buffering and overlays, visualize results using Folium and Plotly, and build reusable scripts to speed up your workflow.
Then, in a second live session, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to real scenarios. You’ll troubleshoot issues, refine your scripts, and get expert feedback to level up your approach.
A highlight of the course is its practical, project-based focus. You’ll build real outputs—like custom analysis tools and interactive maps—that you can use immediately in your work.
By combining expert-led training with flexible online learning, this course helps you move beyond theory. By the end, you’ll be able to confidently manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data—and use it to support smarter decisions in your field.

We aim to make our courses accessible to as many people as possible. If the course fee is a concern, instead of registering directly, you can indicate on the registration form that you’d like to receive a quote tailored to your needs. In many cases, we can offer flexible solutions. For instance, we can adjust the course content for large groups, shorten the course based on existing knowledge, or offer daily rates to suit your requirements.
Yes, you can reach out to the instructor with questions for up to 2 weeks after the course. Since the instructor is likely teaching other courses, we recommend emailing your questions to info@geo-ict.com. We’ll forward your inquiry to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours. After the 2-week period, we recommend using our Personalized Online Support for continued assistance.
