About this programme
This highly flexible program is delivered in a predominantly distance-based format. It provides professional development in mine ventilation and the environment for mining engineers and others who work in the industry. The program covers the needs of the metalliferous and coal-mining sectors. This program is based on a theoretical and operational perspective, and the aim is that the course content will be immediately relevant to the industry. As this is a professional development course, it is vitally important that the student is working at a real mine site because assessments are geared to practical evaluation of mine ventilation systems.
