We have developed a specialist training programme to support key areas within geoscience. All Training Courses are endorsed by independent reviewers and are led by a fantastic range of industry experts, helping you advance your career. Whilst most Training Courses are held online, we also hold in-person courses. Our Training Courses are impactful for geoscientists at any career stage and can be used as part of your continuing professional development (CPD)

An excellent course explaining first principles and soil parameters clearly, so that specifications and challenges posed by different soils are understandable. The course is well supported by case examples and experiences from the speakers who are practitioners in the field.

I just want to say thank you again to the course leads and organisers for putting together such an enjoyable course. I have a new found fascination with coal mining and I'm thoroughly looking forward to spending many hours researching the topic, both professionally and personally :)
