GIS Course in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala — Live Online & Offline Training at Kochi Centre
Learn QGIS, Advanced QGIS, ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, WebGIS and Remote Sensing with Space Borne Kerala — live interactive online classes from Thiruvananthapuram, or in-person at our Kochi training centre.
Space Borne Kerala is a dedicated GIS and Remote Sensing training centre bringing professional, industry-relevant geospatial education to Thiruvananthapuram and learners across India. As an ISO 9001:2015 and MSME certified institute, we train students, researchers, government department staff, urban planners, environmental scientists, and working professionals who want to build a career in GIS, remote sensing, mapping, and spatial data analysis.
Thiruvananthapuram — Kerala’s capital — is a hub for government science and technology agencies with deep roots in space and geospatial work. ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and the National Remote Sensing Centre’s influence permeate the region’s talent landscape. CESS (Centre for Earth Science Studies), the Kerala Forest Research Institute, and agencies like the Revenue and Disaster Management departments here actively depend on GIS professionals for coastal monitoring, forest mapping, and land records. For students at universities like the University of Kerala, Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS), and CUSAT’s affiliated colleges in the region, geospatial skills are a direct career accelerator in this ecosystem.
Two Ways to Learn — Live Online or Offline at Our Kochi Centre
Classroom GIS Training at Kochi Centre
In-person, instructor-led sessions at our Kochi training centre — with hands-on lab practice, real datasets, and direct mentorship. Thiruvananthapuram students who prefer face-to-face learning are welcome to attend at Kochi. The drive along NH-66 takes roughly 4–5 hours, or the Kerala Express makes it an overnight journey.
Live Online GIS Classes (India-wide)
Real-time, interactive online classes — not pre-recorded videos — so students anywhere in India can learn directly from Kerala-based GIS experts with live doubt-clearing and practicals.

ArcGIS Pro Course
ESRI’s modern 64-bit GIS platform — 2D/3D integrated workflows, ArcGIS Online connectivity, scene views, Knowledge Graphs, deep learning raster analysis, and Python (ArcPy) scripting in Notebooks. The go-to tool for ISRO-linked projects, VSSC data workflows, and high-end spatial analytics roles in Thiruvananthapuram’s science corridor.
- 2D maps + 3D scene integration
- ArcGIS Online & Portal for ArcGIS
- Raster analytics & deep learning tools
- ArcPy Notebooks & automation
- Image Analyst & Spatial Analyst
Remote Sensing Course
Satellite image interpretation using Landsat, Sentinel and other open data — pre-processing, band combinations, spectral indices (NDVI, NDWI, NDBI), LULC classification, and change detection relevant to Kerala’s coastline, Western Ghats, and backwaters.
Imagery AnalysisGoogle Earth Engine (GEE) Course
Cloud-based analysis of decades of satellite imagery — JavaScript & Python APIs, time-series analysis, and large-area land monitoring without local storage limits. Used widely for Kerala flood and landslide monitoring studies.
Cloud GISWebGIS Course
Build and publish interactive GIS applications on the web — Leaflet.js, OpenLayers, GeoServer, PostGIS, and QGIS Server. Learn to deploy live maps of Kerala districts, coastal zones, and urban extents accessible from any browser. Highly relevant for e-governance portals and citizen-facing dashboards.
- Leaflet.js & OpenLayers basics
- GeoServer setup & WMS/WFS publishing
- PostGIS spatial queries on the web
- Kerala district & administrative data layers
- Responsive dashboard design
Python for GIS & Remote Sensing
Automate GIS workflows with ArcPy, GDAL, Geopandas, Rasterio and the Earth Engine API — a critical skill for advanced GIS analysts and researchers working with large Kerala spatial datasets.
AutomationWho Should Join This GIS Course in Thiruvananthapuram?

WebGIS in Practice — Interactive Mapping for Kerala
WebGIS bridges the gap between desktop GIS analysis and public-facing, browser-based maps. For Thiruvananthapuram-based professionals working with CESS, KSDMA, KSPCB, or e-governance portals, the ability to publish live spatial data on the web is an increasingly essential skill alongside traditional QGIS and ArcGIS workflows.
In the Space Borne WebGIS course, students learn to take Kerala geospatial data — district boundaries, coastal erosion zones, backwater extents, LULC maps — and serve them as live interactive web maps using Leaflet.js and GeoServer. The map below is a live demonstration built with the same tools taught in the course: Leaflet.js rendering OpenStreetMap tiles with custom GIS markers for key institutions and geospatial study sites across Kerala.
The map above plots real institutions and spatial study zones across Kerala — from VSSC in Thiruvananthapuram to the CWRDM water research campus in Kozhikode, the Kerala Forest Research Institute in Thrissur, and the NIIST science campus. Click any marker to see details. This is exactly the kind of deliverable WebGIS students build during the course: a self-hosted, interactive spatial data layer accessible without any GIS software on the viewer’s end.
Why WebGIS Matters for Thiruvananthapuram Professionals
Kerala has one of India’s most active e-governance ecosystems — KSDI (Kerala Spatial Data Infrastructure), the LSGD’s local body mapping portal, the KSDMA disaster-risk dashboard, and the Rebuild Kerala Initiative all rely on web-served spatial data. GIS professionals in Thiruvananthapuram who can both analyse spatial data in QGIS or ArcGIS Pro and publish it as a live web map are significantly more employable than those with desktop GIS skills alone.
WebGIS Technology Stack Taught
| Layer | Technology | Kerala Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Map Rendering | Leaflet.js / OpenLayers | District boundary viewers, flood inundation maps |
| Tile Service | OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Bhuvan | Base maps with ISRO Bhuvan Kerala layers |
| Spatial Server | GeoServer | Publishing LULC and revenue survey layers as WMS |
| Spatial Database | PostGIS (PostgreSQL) | Storing and querying Kerala administrative data |
| Desktop–Web Bridge | QGIS2Web plugin | One-click export from QGIS to live Leaflet map |
