GIS Training in Nigeria are delivered by GIS professionals with relevant exposure to the discipline. Seeing our GIS Training outline as presented below gives you a full insight of needed learning expectations. With HagePlex GIS Training, you stand the chance of gaining full exposure to the discipline. Exposure entails having extensive knowledge on how to use GIS data and software packages. It also involves having full knowledge on how to applying GIS to various spheres of the Nigerian Workforce.

HagePlex ICT Training in Geographical Information Systems follows the accepted international standard.  This standard provides a framework that ensures all training modules being delivered and expected outcomes achieved. Literally, your GIS learning outcome is of paramount interest to us. This is why our expectation guide provides all modules to our GIS Training in Nigeria.

Perhaps you might not know this. But GIS is still very much new to Nigeria. Professional GIS training in Nigeria is currently done by a hand few of GIS experts in the country.  Ideally, only very few people know the technology as a powerful tool that can be applied to almost every aspect of the our lives as Nigerians. As mentioned previously, knowing GIS as a problem solving tool goes beyond just having data and software. Its about adopting the GIS inquiry process to solve real life problems in Nigeria.

When it comes to expectation guide to GIS Training in Nigeria, the truth has to be pinpointed here! That truth denotes the fact that many Nigerian Universities still produce half baked Nigerian GIS students.

Despite offering  Geospatial Technologies (GIS, Remote Sensing and Mobile Mapping) as major courses in their curriculum,they still  don’t give their best when it come to practical applications of GIS in Nigeria. As a result of this, the following problems often emanates;

(1) The inability to practicality demonstrate  the use of GIS by Nigerian government organizations

(ii) Inability to guide students on GIS career prospects in Nigeria.

(iii) Inability to guide students on how to get GIS Jobs in Nigeria.

(iv) The inability to demonstrate the prospects of GIS  in Nigeria.

(v) Lack of updated GIS data on current socio economic trends in Nigeria.

(vi) Over dependence on open source GIS software like Quantum GIS instead of proprietary packages like ESRI’s ArcGIS and MapInfo Professional etc.

(vii) overdependence on GIS theories instead of practicals.

Due to the above listed problems, many Nigerian graduates gets malnourished in GIS after graduation. Bridging this gap is where we come in. GIS Training in Nigeria with HagePlex Technologies has been helpful in every step of the way. As the No:1 Provider of GIS training in Abuja Nigeria, our goal is to provide a practical oriented approach as seen below in our training expectation guide.
