Mining for Non Miners Training

This enables you to interpret terminology more easily and to interact more confidently with suppliers, business partners and others.

From geology and coal characteristics to international contracts and trade, you will consider the technical, legal, environmental and economic factors affecting the mining industry. Therefore, if you are from a non-mining background, the training gives you the fundamental knowledge you need to develop effective working relationships with mining personnel.

The course will prove relevant if you have even peripheral contact with the mining industry. Previous delegates include accountants, financial services providers (including investment consultants), administrators and other operations personnel, new mining engineers, legal staff, management consultants, plus employees in HR and IT.
