About the Course

Minerals sector managers are typically drawn from the ranks of technical specialists in mining organisations, the engineers, geologists and metallurgists trained primarily in their respective disciplines, but often with only limited formal management training.

This course has been specifically designed for new managers in the mining industry to address the challenges faced with adapting technical skill bases to a new range of priorities.

A feature of this course is Allan's emphasis on real-world examples of the performance challenges and business dilemmas typically found in mining organisations, and how to overcome those challenges whilst engaging the workforce to strive for better performance outcomes.
