GIS Certification

The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) and the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI, http://www.gisci.org) announce that applications are now being accepted for the GIS Certification Program.  GIS professionals can download application materials and submit their qualifications for recognition as Certified GIS Professionals and earn the designation, "GISP."

The certification process requires applicants to pay $250 and submit paperwork documenting their educational and professional experience as well as contributions to the profession.  No examination is required.  Upon successful application, applicants must sign the GIS Code of Ethics to complete the process and earn the “GISP” credential.

Congratulations to all of the Certified GIS Professionals from the Mid-Atlantic region, including Doug Gabbert of the ESRI-MUG Board of Directors!

ESRI is donating free training and materials to the first 1,000 professionals to obtain certification.
