Course Overview

Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Applications certification is a 4 weeks programme proposed by NPTEL and IIT Roorkee and is launched on the Swayam provider website. This is an elective course falling under the course category of civil engineering. The course is absolutely free to learn but the certification demands extra thousand rupees. 

Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Applications training provides a solid understanding of the DEMs which are the digital elevation models, and their applications in earth sciences, and civil engineering. Later on, in the course curriculum, the candidates can identify their source, derivatives, generation techniques, errors, and limitations of the DEMs. The industry support for this certification course is offered by some Geoinformatics companies, like NIIT, Leica Geoinformatics, ESRI India, MapmyIndia, ISRO, and more.
