How can you use your browser to see what’s changing on Earth—in real time? In this one-on-one course, you’ll discover how to use satellite imagery to uncover hidden patterns and inform decision-making. You’ll learn how to work with the EOS Platform and receive personalized guidance on how to apply remote sensing directly to your field.
Remote sensing is a technique that allows you to collect information about the Earth’s surface without physical contact. Satellites continuously capture images of the Earth, enabling you to monitor deforestation, urban growth, and changes in agriculture, among other things. These images provide valuable insights for spatial planning, environmental management, and research.
The EOS Platform is an online tool for analyzing, storing, and visualizing satellite imagery. Thanks to a combination of user-friendly features and smart algorithms, users can quickly process geodata and turn it into clear insights.
Together, remote sensing and EOS form a powerful combination. They make up-to-date, objective data immediately available—as a fast and scalable alternative to traditional measurements.
This course will not only help you understand what remote sensing is, but also how to apply it effectively. Using practical examples, you’ll develop the skills to independently get started with satellite data analysis.
Remote sensing is all about translating satellite images into understandable and actionable insights. With the EOS Platform, you’ll work with real Earth observation examples and discover how to use satellite data for spatial and environmental analyses.
You’ll learn how to recognize, select, and interpret different types of geodata—such as changes in urban areas or vegetation. You’ll use spectral indices to reveal specific patterns or trends, for example in agricultural zones or nature reserves.
The platform helps you not only analyze this data but also combine and visualize it. This gives you a firm grasp of the entire satellite image processing workflow—from raw data to usable maps and insights. With this knowledge, you can apply remote sensing to applications in areas such as spatial planning, agricultural monitoring, or climate research.
Blended learning combines independent online study with practical, interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with satellite image processing and geodata analysis via the EOS Platform. The online modules give you the flexibility to study at your own pace and include interactive lessons on remote sensing, Earth observation data, and the use of spectral indices. You’ll discover how to use tools like LandViewer and EOS Processing to quickly analyze changes on the Earth’s surface and how to apply those insights to spatial or environmental challenges.
During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll apply your knowledge immediately. You’ll work with current satellite imagery, perform image analyses, and receive guidance from experts in remote sensing. You’ll learn how to select relevant satellite data, process it via the EOS Platform, and convert it into clear visualizations. By working hands-on with realistic applications, you’ll develop a workflow that allows you to extract accurate insights from geodata—essential for informed decision-making in areas such as spatial planning or environmental management.
The combination of flexible online learning and practical training ensures that you not only learn how to work with the EOS Platform, but also how to use it effectively for remote sensing applications. After this course, you will be able to independently analyze, interpret, and utilize satellite imagery, giving you access to up-to-date and objective information that is directly applicable within your field.
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. Geo-ICT Training Center, Netherlands is a member of the Dutch Council for Training and Education (NRTO).
After the course, we will email you a link to our evaluation portal. There, you can log in and fill out an evaluation form, and you can also download your certificate of participation.
