Short Courses in Mineral Process Engineering

Specially designed short courses to meet specific requirements for company training and continuing professional development

I am able to offer specialist training courses in the field of mineral processing, statistics and experimental design. Individual courses can be tailored to meet the specific needs of clients and the background of participants. They can be for a day, over several consecutive days or at intervals to meet specific requirements. The courses can be made up from combinations of lectures, seminars and with appropriate practical exercises. The location of any course can be arranged either at client's offices or site, or can be arranged at any other suitable location in the UK or overseas location.

Experience

Over the last 30 years, I have developed considerable expertise in the field of mineral processing, process modelling, statistics, data analysis and experimental design. This expertise is based on research and industrial experience over a range of operations world-wide. In addition to courses designed and delivered at first and second degree level, I have delivered specialised courses to industrial participants in the UK, India and Malaysia and have delivered individual lectures world-wide to various audiences.

Who might benefit

• For Engineers, scientists and technologists of different disciplines who require background knowledge of minerals processing technology
• For experienced Process Engineers requiring updating of their knowledge in specific areas
• For operating personnel who wish to gain an understanding of the processes in which they are involved
• For process engineers who wish to revise or develop their knowledge of the application of statistical methods
• For business and financial analysts, bankers and insurance personnel who require background knowledge of the minerals industry
• For companies who wish to train operating personnel who are new to the industry

Approach

My experience will ensure that the information presented reflects up to the minute topics in the field of minerals engineering and in a manner that specifically addresses the needs of the audience of whatever background. Courses in statistics will have a definite practical bias designed to develop an understanding of the application of statistical techniques to an industrial environment.
