How can you extract valuable insights from satellite imagery and aerial photographs? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to use remote sensing to collect, analyze, and apply useful geodata to spatial issues. You’ll receive personalized guidance and work with online modules and practical assignments. This will help you quickly become proficient in interpreting imagery and applying remote sensing techniques in your field of work.
Remote sensing means gathering information about an area, object, or phenomenon without being physically present there. This is done using sensors mounted on observation platforms, such as satellites, aircraft, or drones (UAVs). These sensors “look” down at the Earth from above and record what is happening. Examples include temperature differences or changes in vegetation and buildings.
Remote sensing is used in many sectors, including agriculture, forest management, urban development, insurance, ocean monitoring, air quality, and renewable energy. In all these fields, remote sensing helps make better, data-driven decisions. You can see how landscapes change, how infrastructure grows, and how natural resources are mapped.
In this course, you’ll discover the basics of remote sensing. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and where you can apply it. You’ll also gain insight into what it means to be a remote sensing specialist. Do you have questions about the field or how you can apply it in your work? Then this course is the right choice for you.
You’ll learn step by step how remote sensing works and what you can do with it. Images captured from the air—such as satellite imagery or drone photos—form the basis of this. You’ll learn how to interpret those images and translate them into actionable information.
In addition, you’ll develop the skills to work independently with remote sensing. You’ll train yourself in image recognition, data processing, and applying those insights across various sectors. You’ll be introduced to ERDAS Imagine, a widely used tool in geoinformation. You’ll also learn how to apply geodata in practical workflows.
This course is more than just an introduction. It is a stepping stone toward a career in geoinformation and Earth observation. You will gain not only knowledge but also the confidence to put it into practice.
Blended learning combines independent online learning with hands-on sessions. This way, you not only learn the theory behind remote sensing and image analysis, but also apply it in practice. The online modules give you the flexibility to learn at your own pace. They include interactive lessons on Earth observation, image recognition, and geospatial applications.
During the hands-on sessions, you’ll actively work with satellite imagery and real geodata. You’ll receive direct guidance from experienced specialists in remote sensing and GIS. You’ll learn to analyze imagery correctly. You’ll also practice using software such as ERDAS Imagine. Additionally, you’ll discover how to apply insights from imagery data to spatial challenges.
The combination of flexible learning and practical training ensures immediate results. You will not only learn to work with remote sensing tools, but also how to use them effectively in realistic projects. After this course, you will be able to analyze and interpret images independently. You will apply this knowledge in your field and make informed, spatial decisions.
You’ll receive 1-on-1 guidance. After signing up, our course coordinator will contact you to schedule your first session.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Do you have questions about the course content? Or are you unsure whether the course aligns with your learning goals or preferences? Would you prefer an in-house or private course? We’d be happy to help.
After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.
If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.
If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.
You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

All courses are taught in person. Course hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Coffee, tea, lunch, and a laptop are provided.
Taking a course online is also possible, but we only offer hybrid courses in exceptional cases. If you wish to participate in a course online, please indicate this during registration—select “Online” as the location. If that is not possible, this course will only be offered on-site in Apeldoorn.
Yes, we do this regularly. Our instructor will come to your location and bring laptops for the participants. All you need to do is arrange a classroom at your location.
Please email your requirements to info@geo-ict.nl, and we will send you a quote. Once you’ve confirmed the order, our course coordinator will contact you to schedule the training days.
After each course, participants receive a link to our evaluation portal. There, you can share your feedback on what you liked and didn’t like about the course. We always do our very best, but of course, there may be times when you have a complaint. Click on “Complaints Procedure.” It explains what steps you can take.
