Abstract

ABSTRACT
When Remote Sensing was introduced to the Secondary Vocational School (SMK) in 2013, teachers who taught the subject lacked the competence of teaching the associated courses due to the rapid advancement in remote sensing technology. As a result, graduates who went through the remote sensing courses had questionable competence in their knowledge and skill on remote sensing. Additionally, an on-going issue related to the low level of competency among participants relates to the professional certification process and the entire Competency Unit that are not needed in the intended position. This study aims to determine a form of training and testing models for the field of remote sensing within the scope of Geospatial techniques by looking at the literatures on appropriate training and testing designs so that participants competencies can be measured. The goals are then to produce graduates who meet certain competency standards, and to close the gap between the need for human resources and certified personnel while keeping both up to date with technological progress in remote sensing.
