The ISRO centres offer training to industries, professionals, government officials, teachers, students and general public in the space applications, satellite building etc. Some of the training programs are also available for international students.
IIRS is a premier institute primarily focussing on training in GeoSpatial applications.
The training and capacity building programmes of the Institute are designed to meet the requirements of various target/user groups, i.e., for professionals at working, middle and supervisory levels, fresh graduates, researchers, academia and decision makers. The duration of courses ranges from one-week to two-years. The programmes are meticulously designed by the domain experts, and are then approved by the Board of Studies (BoS) and Academic Council (AC) consisting of eminent subject experts. A team of sixty-four dedicated scientists at IIRS contribute in delivering the course contents. Guest faculties from reputed organizations/institutes in the country and abroad are regularly invited to share their knowledge and experience with the course participants.
The training and education programmes conducted by the Institute include educational programmes, Training programmes and e-learning programmes.

In response to the UN General Assembly Resolution (45/72 of 11th December, 1990) endorsing the recommendations of UNISPACE-82, the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UN- OOSA) prepared a project document (A/AC.105/534) envisaging the establishment of Centers for Space Science and Technology Education in the developing countries. In 1994, a UN team conducted an evaluation mission of six countries in Asia-Pacific region. Based on the report of the evaluation mission, UN-OOSA notified India as the host country for establishment of Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific (CSSTEAP). The Centre was established in India on November 1, 1995 under an agreement signed initially by 10 member countries of the region. The Centre is hosted by the Government of India with Department of Space (DOS), as the nodal agency. DOS has made available appropriate facility and expertise to the Centre through the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), at Dehradun, Space Applications Centre (SAC), at Ahmedabad and Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), at Ahmedabad.
Human resource development in the Asia-Pacific region in applying space science and technology for sustainable development of the region, achieved through academic excellence thereby enabling all learners to reach their individual potential.
The Research and training programs' are designed for the target audience of Graduates and Post graduate students, the Researchers from R & D institutes and Academia. The broad area will be applications of remote sensing. The data base contained in VEDAS will be used as a source.
A set of standard curricula developed by the United Nations is adapted for the educational programmes. The Centre is affiliated to the United Nations and its educational programmes are recognized by Andhra University, India.

Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) is a National Research Institute for space and allied sciences, supported mainly by Department of Space, Government of India. This research laboratory has ongoing research programmes in astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric sciences and aeronomy, Earth sciences, Solar System studies and theoretical physics. The initial focus was research on cosmic rays and the properties of the upper atmosphere. Research areas were expanded to include theoretical physics and radio physics later with grants from the Atomic Energy Commission.
Today PRL is involved in research, related to five major fields of science. PRL is also instrumental in the PLANEX planetary science and exploration programme.
PRL also offers various fellowships, internships and project training courses.

Remote Sensing, GIS and web information services has emerged as a significant tool for implementation of efficient spatial information technologies needed for tailoring methodologies useful for retrieving, analysis of spatial and non-spatial attributes data. For implementation of good governance at State and national level offices, Geospatial technologies are playing a vital role in leveraging spatial data towards effective asset & resource management. Also enabling user community for enhanced utilization of Geospatial Technologies towards sustainable development management and practices.
NRSC organizes capacity building courses in Geospatial Technologies and Applications towards effective utilization of satellite data products for operational, scientific research and societal benefits for users/professionals working at field level, managerial, executives and decision makers.
Professionals from various Government / Private / Autonomous / NGOs / Faculty and Researchers from Academic Institutions working in the domain of geospatial technologies and its applications are eligible for these courses
Courses : Regular, special / theme-oriented and customized courses are organized towards capacity building of user community for effective use of space inputs for various applications in about 20 programmes and training around 500 officials / academic scholars per year.

Student Satellite Programme.
ISRO encourages students at potential academic institutions where basic facilities / labs exist to build small satellites. The intention is to create basic awareness in the satellite building, on their own utilising the available resources within the academic institution. ISRO gives basic training and share some of the resources for realising the small satellites.
Visit Student satellite page for more details.
UNNATI, (UNispace Nanosatellite Assembly & Training by ISRO), a training for Assembly, Integration and Testing of NanoSatellites. The opportunity for registration will be publicised.
Visit UNNATI for more details.
Under the capacity building exercise ISRO launched a digital STEM portal Jigyasa, which offers e-learning courses on space science, technology and applications. The course participation certificates can be printed on-line, after successful completion and evaluation of the course. The portal also hosts several education videos and content for basic education of students / public.
