Is GIS Certification Worth It? Should I get my GISP? Esri Certified? Tableau Certified?

[@johnnerge5748]

Wonderful summary of the different types of certifications available in our field, especially providing your own work background as an example of how to assess which ones are more or less valuable!

This is really helpful! My background is in planning & zoning-specifically zoning analysis. Analyzing zoning data has really peaqued my interest in pivoting into GIS, and have been considering a technical certificate. But i will first begin with ESRI's free courses before I invest $8-$10k into the technical certificate course. Its also super badass to see women (like you!) in GIS. Im a new subscriber to your channel. 😆🌐🌍

I graduated with a degree in art history and minored in anthropology. I learned some GIS in a geomorphology class and realized there are valuable ways I can incorporate GIS with my educational background since I am a lot more interested in working with an archaeological team. I'm looking into ways to obtain a GIS certification that would be useful for a future career in mapping archaeological sites for surveyors, museums, and other teams who collect site data. I found this video useful and now wondering if there are specific software and certifications I should be leaning into for my goals? Thanks for the informative video!

Question, so I have a BS in Environmental Science and specialization in GIS ( like 3 classes) currently in the military. What is better, go for the masters in GIS or a certification in GIS?

[@JulianaMapper]

It’s hard to say without talking to you. Happy to do that in my 1:1 coaching! What I will say is that the biggest thing i would say is ensuring that you can demonstrate GIS mastery. Unfortunately, I see many students coming out of degree programs, and what they excel at is following a tutorial.

Is it worth it for a 55-year-old man to go back learn GIS think that he could get a job in this field

Is there a class for a Real Estate Professionals to search

[@JulianaMapper]

I’m not familiar with a class for GIS for real estate. I’m sure one exists. I am happy to work 1:1 with anyone though to meet their goals. I have done a few day long sessions with organizations to get their team up and running on GIS

I'm soon getting out of the army soon as a Geospatial intelligence analyst. Do you think a GISP would be beneficial?

[@JulianaMapper]

It is so hard to answer that without knowing more about your situation. A GISP is seen by some as having a lot of weight, it is seen by others as being more about "book" skills than practical. Its really up to your goals.
