GIS - 3D and Spatial Analyst with ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) and PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation (Version 7)

ArcGIS is one of the most powerful tools for mapping and spatial planning and enables comprehensive analysis of geodata. This course demonstrates the competent handling of geodata, from acquisition to management and analysis to visualization with a geoinformation system. In addition, in-depth topics on cartography, geomarketing and the use of the "ArcGIS 3D and Spatial Analyst" toolbox for three-dimensional visualization are taught. You will also learn how artificial intelligence is used in this area and expand your knowledge with ITIL®, a process optimization method, and PRINCE2®, an IT project management method.

Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.

A good knowledge of English is required for the certification exam.

You are proficient in the competent handling of geodata, from acquisition and management to presentation using a geoinformation system. You also have in-depth knowledge of positioning/navigation, geomarketing and the handling of rasters and vector data and can use the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst 3D Analyst, Image Analyst and Network Analyst toolbox.

You also understand the central concepts of managing digital products and services according to ITIL® Foundation (version 5). You are familiar with the ITIL product and service lifecycle, the ITIL Value System, value streams, value creation and service relationships as well as modern concepts such as AI, automation and continuous improvement and can classify these in an organizational context. You will also be able to work on PRINCE2® projects and be familiar with their processes and terminology. You will also be able to plan and implement IT projects and measure their success.

People from the field of geosciences (such as geography, geodesy, photogrammetry and remote sensing), but also employees from the fields of computer science, mathematics and system sciences who would like to acquire knowledge in dealing with geodata.

As a GIS analyst, you will be in demand from public authorities as well as engineering and surveying offices. You will also find employment with software providers, in research and development and with data processing services for geodata. With the internationally recognized "ArcGIS Pro Foundation" certification, you can provide meaningful proof of your knowledge.

With knowledge of IT service and project management with ITIL® and PRINCE2®, you have an additional qualification that is in high demand, especially in the IT sector.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
