                                                  Background

                                                  During a Plato (now known as the South African Geomatics Council or SAGC) AGM in 2001, it was decided to open a category in the, then surveying only, statutory body for GISc people. This was mainly due to surveyors who changed their careers to GIS and wanted to be registered with a professional statutory body.

                                                  Registering with SAGC

                                                  This section was designed to help applicants towards registration with SAGC.
