What can you really learn from a satellite image—and how do you turn that information into useful, visual insights with ArcGIS? In this one-on-one blended learning course, you’ll learn how to convert raw remote sensing data into powerful maps and practical analyses. With expert guidance and hands-on modules, you’ll build the skills to apply geospatial information in your field—step by step.
Remote sensing—also known as teledetection—lets you collect information about the Earth’s surface without direct contact. By using sensors on satellites, drones, aircraft, or radar systems, you can capture images and measurements from a distance. Technologies like LiDAR and radar allow you to measure elevation, track movement, and detect subtle changes in the landscape with impressive accuracy.
As a result, professionals across industries rely on remote sensing to observe hard-to-reach or hazardous areas—such as mountain ranges, flood zones, or nature reserves. This makes it essential in fields like environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, and defense.
That’s where ArcGIS comes in. As one of the leading GIS platforms, ArcGIS helps you transform raw remote sensing data into meaningful insights. You’ll be able to analyze large datasets, combine them with other spatial layers, and present your findings as clear, compelling maps. In short, it turns complex geodata into practical, actionable information.
In this course, you’ll learn how to use ArcGIS to apply remote sensing techniques in real-world scenarios. To begin, you’ll work with satellite imagery and aerial photos to detect landscape changes—such as vegetation loss, urban growth, or environmental damage.
Next, you’ll integrate remote sensing data with other geospatial layers to uncover deeper patterns and insights. This allows you to better understand complex spatial relationships and inform smarter decision-making.
As you progress, you’ll explore tools like raster analysis, map visualization, and LiDAR interpretation. These features help you identify trends, compare locations, and draw accurate conclusions from large volumes of data.
This course is ideal if you already have basic GIS experience and want to expand into remote sensing. Instead of just learning theory, you’ll apply your knowledge through hands-on exercises based on real-world use cases. That way, you won’t just know how the tools work—you’ll know exactly when and why to use them.
Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds—live interaction and flexible self-paced study—so you can build real, job-ready GIS and remote sensing skills. In this course, you’ll get hands-on with ArcGIS and learn how to work with satellite imagery and LiDAR data to support smart spatial decisions.
We kick off with a live session where you’ll start working with remote sensing datasets right away. With support from experienced GIS instructors, you’ll run raster calculations, build map layers, and apply analysis tools in real-world scenarios.
Next, our self-paced modules let you dive into the fundamentals at your own pace. You’ll learn how to collect, prepare, and process satellite imagery and LiDAR. Interactive lessons guide you through spatial analysis and map creation using ArcGIS—skills you can apply across different fields and projects.
Then, in a second live session, you’ll put your skills into action. You’ll refine your workflow, build professional visuals, and get expert feedback as you work through realistic challenges. These exercises help you create outputs you can use right away.
By combining expert-led sessions with flexible study, this course helps you move beyond the basics. By the end, you’ll feel confident using ArcGIS and remote sensing tools to process data, uncover insights, and deliver results in your work.

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.
Yes, we offer on-site training regularly throughout the Netherlands. Our instructor will bring laptops for the participants, and all you need to do is arrange a suitable room at your location.
Please send your requirements to info@geo-ict.com, and we will provide a customized quote, which will include travel and accommodation costs. Once the quote is confirmed, our course coordinator will reach out to schedule the training days.
After each course, participants receive a link to our evaluation portal where you can share your feedback on what you liked and didn’t like. We strive to provide a great experience for all our participants, but if you have a complaint, please click on ‘Complaints Procedure’ in the portal.
