TRAINING & MENTORING

Sharpen the Saw… If you don’t improve and renew yourself constantly, you will fall into entropy, closed systems and styles. Covey (1990) 

Improving and maintaining your core professional skills is critical for both personal and business success. In our ever changing business, social and political environment, standing still is going backwards. QG specialises in providing up to date professional development training and mentoring designed for people with all levels of experience.

Going beyond the classroom-style training many of our clients benefit from our co-pilot training approach where a QG consultant works directly with an individual on a particular project or problem. The QG co-pilot guides you through the steps to deliver a quality end result while you complete the tasks yourself.

We also offer a number of our professional development programs as public course which include:

•         Geostatistics, Resource Estimation and Risk (John Vann)
•         Scenario Based Mining Project Evaluation (John Vann)
•         Value from Resource and Reserve Audits (Scott Dunham)
•         Sampling and Quality Management (Michael Stewart)
•         Variography (Michael Stewart)
•         Leading and Managing Technical Professionals (Scott Dunham)
•         Reconciliation and Grade Control (Scott Dunham)
•         Practical Pit Optimisation (Dave Purdey)
•         Communication and Report Writing for Technical Professionals (Scott Dunham)

All of these public programs can also be conducted in-house at a fixed cost per day regardless of the number of participants. If you have more than 3-4 people interested in any of our courses, an in-house approach can be very cost effective and can provide additional benefits when compared to public training. If you decide to run your professional development programs in-house you get the  added advantage of:

•         Customised programs designed to address your specific requirements
•         Open and frank discussion of internal issues and examples of good/bad pratice
•         Enhanced team development with higher participation levels, development of shared language and concepts 

Our in-house programs include all of the public programs plus:

•        Geometallurgical modelling - in conjunction with JK-Tech
•        Project evaluation
•         Project management
•        Mine geology core skills
•        Applied resource modelling
•        Business improvement
•        Strategic planning
