Eight students were enrolled in the short course delivered at the mine.
It was both cost and time efficient for Bruce and David to travel to the mine site rather than have the students come to Sydney for the otherwise one-week block-taught course.
The participants, who range from senior managers to geologists to surveyors and the presenters found the course mutually beneficial. Said David, “The course was set up to enable the participants to focus on the course content for 8 hours each day while still being able to carry out their duties at the mine site”.
A second course on risk and safety management will be run shortly with potential for others including environmental management, mine economics, mine feasibility, slope stability and so on. Apart from enrolled students, the courses are of benefit to both technical and non-technical mining staff. |
