Subject: RE: [gislist] Re: certification (?)
Date:  10/20/2003 10:05:01 AM
From:  David Brubacher



I will leave the URISA response to others, however, the Association of
Ontario Land Surveyors www.aols.org has extended its profession to
include Geographic Information Managers.

Upon application and articles, a successful candidate would actually
carry a professional designation (O.L.S. O.L.I.P.) as opposed to a
certificate. Under NAFTA and GATT this professional designation
theoretically allows the holder to work in foreign jurisdictions much
more easily than a certificate would.

I am wondering what your thoughts are regarding the Urban and Regional
Information Systems Association (URISA) certification? =20

Also, wondering how people can be held back professionally because
GIS was not considered "a profession"? =20
