Unlock the future of modern GIS
How did you learn all of this geospatial stuff?
That’s a question I get all the time.
If you’re just getting started—or even if you’ve been working in GIS for years—you’ve probably faced this too. There’s no clear roadmap.
You end up bouncing between outdated textbooks, random YouTube tutorials, and university courses that barely touch on modern geospatial workflows.
I know because I went through the same thing.
And even once you do build up the skills, how do you prove it? No certification. No structured way to show employers you actually know the tools they care about.
Sound familiar?
That’s exactly why I built Modern GIS—a place to learn, practice, and get certified in the geospatial tools defining today’s industry.
Let’s be real: traditional GIS isn’t enough anymore.
Employers are looking for professionals who can:
✅ Work with big data and cloud-native geospatial tools
✅ Use Python & SQL to automate spatial analysis
✅ Build scalable workflows beyond desktop GIS
✅ Think like a data engineer, not just a mapmaker
ModernGIS teaches you the skills that actually matter—so you can stand out, grow your career, and stay ahead of the industry shift.
