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.

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.

was tough for me coming from an asphalt side of the company to then start learning about the geotechnical side but I've learnt a lot and hope to keep progressing in my carer

An enjoyable and useful course. It was pitched at a level where someone with experience in the minerals sector could engage to go over their experience and then build on it. The site visit was an excellent way to bring together the online material and to expand my professional network of both private and public sector professionals in the sector. I also thought the venue and subsequent presentation by the quarry manager was a great choice.
