As a qualified planner (district matters) for nearly 30 years many aspects were already known. However, it is recognised that most people will not have that knowledge. Some of the planning material was a little out of date, but it is understood that this course is being revised for the next intake.
Notwithstanding this, the level of information and how it was presented was well done. It was of good 'bite sized' chunks which has enabled gradual reading and learning. The headings will enable reference back to clarify matters if and when it is necessary.
The foundation of minerals planning and operations in such a way has been well done.

Very interesting subject where I gained a lot of deeper knowledge esp during research for the assessment when comparing the course notes to live applications in the UK and locally.

I have found the course invaluable. As well as learning more about the details of minerals operations and the more technical areas around soils, waste and permitting which were newer topics for me, I feel my background knowledge on the minerals planning system has increased too, for example around the old mining permissions and how the ROMP process came about.
On a personal level this course has directly enabled me to do my job better, looking at minerals safeguarding and Minerals Resource Assessments, and also working on Call for SItes for minerals which I am currently undertaking now as part of our new Local Plan.
