Welcome!
As part of NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey’s (NGS) mission to provide
access to the National Spatial Reference System and to be a leader in
geospatial activities, NGS has established a training center in
Corbin, VA. The Corbin Training Center (CTC) is in the process of
developing a schedule of classes for the upcoming year, but requests
for class topics are being accepted. Current classes are on the
‘Class Calendar’ page. You can request additional classes by emailing
us at nos.ngs.corbin.training.center@noaa.gov
The CTC has a classroom
with 11 workstations, and a larger room for lectures, discussion, and
break-out groups. NGS will be using the CTC to train stakeholders and
contractors, but other NOAA/NOS programs are welcome to reserve the
facility for training or retreat purposes. Corbin is located near
Fredericksburg, VA, approximately an hour and a half south of Silver
Spring, MD, and an hour south of Washington, D.C.
Mission
The mission of the Corbin Training Center is to provide high quality
training to improve the geodetic positioning capacity of partners
internal as well as external to NOAA, and to increase the knowledge
and skills of NGS employees. This increased knowledge and capacity
will improve the National Spatial Reference System to meet the
nation’s economic, social and environmental needs.
