About the programme
Kerala’s classroom-and-online GIS training, run from Ernakulam
Space Borne runs its Kerala classroom hub in Ernakulam district, Kochi — the state’s natural centre for engineering colleges, IT parks, government survey offices and environmental agencies. Anyone searching for GIS training in Ernakulam or GIS training in Kochi will find seats in the same physical batch that meets on-site, working on real Kerala datasets: cadastral layers, Survey of India toposheets, satellite imagery of the Western Ghats, and local government shapefiles.
Learners outside Ernakulam are not left out. Every classroom session in Kochi is mirrored for a live online batch, so students in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur and Kasaragod — as well as learners from other Indian states and abroad — get identical instructors, software access, assignments and certification. The institute is ISO 9001:2015 and MSME certified, and instruction is offered in both English and Malayalam so technical concepts land clearly whichever language you think in.
The curriculum is built around the software and languages Kerala’s GIS employers actually ask for: desktop mapping in ArcGIS and QGIS, quick reconnaissance in Google Earth Pro, drafting and CAD-to-GIS conversion in AutoCAD, automation and analysis in Python, satellite time-series work in Google Earth Engine (GEE), spatial statistics in R, and cloud publishing through ArcGIS Online — enough breadth to walk into a survey department, a planning office, an environmental consultancy or a research lab and be immediately useful.

Core GIS & mapping software
Four tools every GIS desk in Kerala expects you to know
From licensed enterprise GIS to open-source mapping and engineering drafting — the software stack covered in both the Ernakulam classroom and the online batch.
ArcGIS
ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro — geoprocessing, spatial analysis, geodatabases and cartographic layout production used across government and consultancy projects in Kerala.
QGIS
Digitisation, vector and raster analysis, plugin-based workflows and georeferencing — a zero-licence-cost alternative that most students master alongside ArcGIS.
Google Earth Pro
Rapid site visualisation, historical imagery comparison, KML/KMZ creation and stakeholder-friendly 3D flyovers for field verification.
AutoCAD
Engineering drawing fundamentals and CAD-to-GIS conversion workflows for learners moving between survey drafting and spatial databases.
Programming & cloud GIS
Beyond point-and-click — scripting, satellite analytics and the cloud
Once the desktop software is comfortable, the course moves into automation and analysis layers that separate a GIS operator from a GIS analyst.
Applied learning · interactive map
Kerala’s major natural resources, mapped the way you’ll learn to map them
Every point below is the kind of feature Space Borne students digitise, classify and analyse during the course — forests, backwaters, rivers, mineral belts and plantation hill tracts across Kerala. Switch between the resource layer and the training-access layer, and click any marker for details.
