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.

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 Some of the planning material was a little out of date, but it is understood that this course is being revised for the next intake.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.

I am already doing a VOR for aspiring leaders and this was a good extra to have accomplished alongside that course.

The course was insightful for me. I learned a great deal of content that I had not encountered in many of the drill and blast courses I have attended throughout my career. I am confident that I will be a better explosives engineer by the end of this course and will be able to present myself professionally in any boardroom discussion. The course will also help me become a better mentor to my team, both theoretically and practically.
