The 12-credit certificate program provides in-depth knowledge of best practices in mine waste management. Courses in the first year of study focus on advanced mine waste management and site management, while those in the second year explore risk assessment and mine waste management case studies.
“The program offered an excellent opportunity to understand better the rapidly changing global environment around mine waste, from new industry standards to best engineering practices.
There were well-selected case studies to discuss previous incidents in the industry so that the lessons learnt can be applied to today’s operations.” — Tailings Manager at Rio Tinto
Each course is offered in a blended three-part format:
