Subject: [gislist] GIS Certification?
Listers,
Per the following article (pg. 18) in the June 2004 issue of Geospatial
Solutions magazine, the State of Oregon has formally sanctioned the
GISCI
certification for geospatial data administration (data serving). I just
recently applied for GIS certification through the ASPRS, completing the
application process, identifying four professional references and
spending
the $350. After going through this entire process, I find out about the
State of Oregon's decision.=20
>>>>
The State of Oregon has officially adopted the GISCI Certification,
which
requires any agency or organization in Oregon that share geospatial data
with other organizations or the public to have a certified individual
who is
responsible for sharing that data, following the best practices, as set
forth by the profession. For more information about certification and
the
GIS Certification Institute visit www.gisci.org or URISA at
www.urisa.org.
<<<<
1. WHAT other agencies will soon follow suit to Oregon?
2. WHY are the ASPRS and URISA not collaborating on the GIS certificate
program?
3. IF the ASPRS and URISA can't work together on such an effort, then
how
many other disparate groups are going to be offering GIS certificate
programs down the road (maybe we'll start seeing ads along with dental
hygienist and small engine repair technician in the TV Guide)?
4. SHOULD such certificates only be sanctioned in a state by state basis
in
the future, such as PEs, Landscape Architect certification and teaching
licenses?
5. WHO has the authority to clear this problem up?
