Knowledgeable, supportive tutors are a consistent strength, with attendees praising clear explanations, real-world examples and helpful guidance throughout their learning. They find the training informative, well structured and often practical, with site visits and face-to-face sessions helping connect theory to workplace responsibilities. Flexible online study suits people in full-time roles, while responsive staff provide strong assessment and technical support. Some feel the online material is text-heavy and would benefit from more interactive content, but learners broadly apply the knowledge confidently at work.

Some alignment to Heavy Clay Sector required which will be possible through collaboration with images supplied by sector operators. Consideration of time efficiency for quarry visit and assessing alternative 'appraisal' plan. Reduce Aberfan info. Some less applicable catastrophic event videos considered to be less suitable. Tom really portrayed the geotech elements well, from a text book method to practical experience which really helped land the course well.

Really benefitted from this course. Much improved from when I did my level 4 in 2015. The format was good. Maybe needed a little more time from first face to face to the assessment but overall found the content at the right level and easy to follow the on line learning.

Enjoyed the course and the content, I think the professional conversation to follow up and confirm knowledge is a great idea even though I found that quite difficult (nervous) its too easy to say you have attended courses but do you really understand what you have learnt.

David has a wealth of knowledge and experience within the mining industry which has been very insightful when discussing various topics. I am interested in learning more about quarry management gaining insight decision making on choosing and purchasing plant.
