[OSGeo Africa] GIS Honours

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi,
If you are considering a career in GISc (in South Africa), especially if 
you already have a degree, can I strongly suggest that you consider 
registering yourself with PLATO in one of the GISc categories.

For your existing degree(s), get the transcripts (not your results, but 
the details of the course contents for the courses you have completed).

Go to http://www.plato.org.za/4regnotesprof.php *_and click on the GISc 
tab_* - Near the bottom of this page you will find links to the "Self 
Assessment Tool".
Use this tool to compare the course contents you have completed, against 
the ones that are required for PLATO registration. You will likely have 
to take (say) one of your courses and split them content percentage-wise 
across more than one PLATO knowledge area. This is to be expected, so 
filling in the self-assessment tool is not a 5 minute exercise.

Note that the UNIGIS courses are accredited for PLATO registration 
_*dependent on your underlying degree*_. This dependency is because the 
UNIGIS courses are post-grad courses.
Contact UNIGIS for further info.

Note that you do not have to study at a PLATO-accredited learning 
institution in order to attain PLATO registration. It is just that if 
you have studied elsewhere, you will need to do a laborious comparison 
of your courses against the PLATO requirements using the self-assessment 
tool, which will (may) highlight deficiencies. Such deficiencies can 
usually be filled in with single "top-up" course.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Zoltan
