Geodesy Course online (low cost)

Is this for you? 

• ·         You operate/manage GIS, GPS, CAD and/or photogrammetric software
• ·         You cannot attend college for some reason (graduate or otherwise)
• ·         You do not get enough training from your job or from vendors
• ·         You want to do a good job and know that you need more basic information
• ·         You have to make decisions but have difficulty in finding the right language
• ·         You manage people and you want to help them do the best job possible

The “discipline” of geodesy, as taught in this series, provides theoretical and practical detail that is rarely taught, but that is key to the proper understanding of the mapping sciences.  It links basic academic topics with geomatics in a way that is easy to digest.  Without it, a basic professional judgment is impossible to acquire. 

The geodesy course provides you with good practical information.  It takes the edge off things and gives you more security in your job.  It will be easier for you to talk with others and to convey your thoughts. 

Harold Schuch, the instructor, has a rare background:

• ·         He actually has a four-year degree in geomatics (unavailable in the US)
• ·         He has a master’s degree in it also
• ·         He is a licensed PE
• ·         He is a Certified Photogrammetrist
• ·         He has completed over 130 projects in 16 countries, all of them related to geomatics

On top of that, he has assembled the course material over a span of 20 years in the field, and knows what gives people grief. 

The course does not sell anything, has no advertising, and is not slanted toward one or the other technology.  You can download the complete course description (all sessions) here:  http://www.geocounsel.com/coursedescriptionhtml.html.  

This message is an offer for the first three sessions (following the suggestion of students): 

• ·         Session 1 – Trigonometry Refresher (just to be sure you have what you need for sessions 2 and 3)
• ·         Session 2 – Coordinate Systems and Transformations (so you know what buttons to press and how NOT to destroy million-dollar databases)
• ·         Session 3 – Least Squares Concepts (so you know how this important tool works in mapping, GIS, GPS, etc.)

This is a LIVE web-course.  The schedule is as follows:

Denver, CO Mountain Time

Cheap! Only $49/session.  To sign up, call Harold at 303-979-7773.
