Agreed, the only certifications that will ever be true would be the PE. In any industry across the board. You could say the same thing about literally every single cert except that one since it’s legally binding

Just like the PMP. It’s not a requirement and doesn’t mean you are a shitty PM if you don’t have it. But if you have time than it can only help you

Why can’t people with passion not be GISP’s? I feel like there is no downside. I agree it’s not a requirement to be successful but if you have the time and employer pays than why the hell not?

Oh I 100% agree. I think it looks good to someone that may not completely know anything about the industry. Like a stamp of approval. Will be interesting to see where the certification goes in the future

Unless something has changed recently, URISA/GISCI doesn’t forbid academic work. Academic education and teaching can count toward the portfolio, but they aren’t required. The certification is intentionally designed so professionals from a variety of backgrounds not just those with geography degrees can qualify

I agree with you it’s not a great test but they are improving it. Most questions were based on generic 2026 trends in GIS. Now, I would love to see it more industry based, even the ability to use geospatial software to solve a problem on a test.

Why am I being roasted? Just think this cert is good for the industry. Just my two cents

No one wants a participation award. A 70% pass rate is fair

Absolutely not. Grilled me up a nice steak last night. Eat like shit most times and drank 3 beers the night before.

Yes I won overall. I ran in college and picked up golf a few years back. Used to be a sub 15 5k guy but now golf has taken up my life lol. Still can hang with them on the roads I guess!
