Course material (Acid Rock Drainage Prediction) is quite heavy but does have the ability to impart the necessary knowledge to the reader. I would definitely recommend this course to other miners & engineers. All in all a good course!

24 April 2009

Nice course (Health and Safety Representative Training) I will not hesitate to recommend to my work mates.

15 Feb 2009

This course (Quality Control of Geochemical and Assay Samples) is absolutely essential to the exploration and mining community with regard to the continued integrity of sampling & subsampling procedures in quality control of soil and core assays.

28 July 2008

... thank you for the great education source!

25 July 2008

An excellent course for me (Acid Rock Drainage Prediction), since my profession is a Mining Engineer/Environmental Officer. Probably a more in-depth course should be designed to focus more on a specific area of study, e.g. AMD in waste rock or tailings.

22 February 2008

I am a mining professional engineer working in Northern Alberta and this is a great opportunity for me to maintain and update my knowledge and skills. I really appreciate your effort and will recommend this valuable source to all my colleagues.

Muy buenos cursos ... (Ingeniería Práctica de Rocas 1 - Introducción y Diseño de Taludes de Roca).

09 December 2007

I really recommend this (Evaluación Económica y Optimización) course for geologists that are dedicated to the exploration and evaluation of mining projects.

23 November 2007

This (Flotation 1 - Fundamentals) was an excellent primer to laboratory flotation training for a new float tech trainee such as my self.

18 September 2007

The course (Cyanide in Mining) achieved what I was looking for. I good brief overview of various and numerous topics so that I can at least talk somewhat intelligently about the topic and have some idea of what questions to ask when necessary.

Thanks for another good course.

27 August 2007

I love your site and as a miner I have never seen so much useful information in one place. What a wonderful tool for us to use.

24 August 2007

All and all a good course (Blast Design and Assessment for Surface Mines and Quarries). If I may suggest a couple of things... Larger size illustrations would speed progress through some of the areas and allow better use of time. I needed more info about vibration. Both interactive tools in this section failed to load. I would like to have access to these tools once they are repaired. This is important to my learning. Please respond to me on this. Thank you for a good course. I learned or validated much.

03 July 2007

I just completed the course Surface Reclamation Techniques 1: Topsoil, Hydrology and Topography. I would like to say that it appeared to be comprehensive for a topic that I am sure has many if, ands or buts. I enjoyed taking it and look forward to taking the next in the series. As far as my ratings are concerned, I did note a few typos or misplaced words and a few of the figures were basically illegible because of scan quality ... If not for the lack of definitions of some of the terms, blurred figures and confusion with come of the multiple figures, my overall rating would have been good to very good. As stated previously, I enjoyed taking the course and consider the time well spent. I would recommend others to take it. I am using this course for PE re-certification and it is gratifying to know that there are courses I can take that are reasonably priced and that I am actually interested in to use for CEUs. Thank you for providing this opportunity.

The three EduMine courses that I have taken some weeks ago have been very useful for me. When I thought about which one I should take, I didn´t find it difficult at all to choose the right one. It was because I was looking for a specific theme, and I found it: The mine backfill (Underground Mine Backfill). The way these courses present each aspect of certain matter makes the students think about our own reality and recognise the problems that occur on our mine sites, and therefore it is easier to find solutions. Both the content and presentation are very suitable for engineers who need clear and short but yet detailed information on the concerns we are working on.

10 July 2006

Excellent course (Empirical Methods of Resource / Reserve Estimation ). I will recommend this course to my friends (geologists) and co-workers.

06 June 2006

Good course that enhanced my knowlege of mills and mill operations (The Mill Operating Resource - 2: Mineral Recovery )

April 30 2006

An extremely useful course (Practical Rock Engineering 5 - Excavation and Support) - particularly as the majority of my previous experience has been with large open pits. The underground components and rock reinforcement were very well presented. As an aside, there are a couple of spelling mistakes.

April 27 2006

I wanted to take a moment and commend you and your staff for an absolutely fantastic website!  After fifteen years in the oil industry as a Petroleum Geologist, I have recently decided to convert a long standing interest in the mining sector into a career reality.

Thanks to InfoMine/EduMine, my career shift is in full swing with a recent subscription to your services.  Your website is the perfect support system for my needs which include getting up to speed with my mining technical capabilities (EduMine), looking for an initial position to springboard my new mining career (CareerMine/Job Fair, etc.) and in keeping up to date with worldwide mining events and news.   

I sincerely thank you and your staff for providing such a unique and extensive mining resource which, for me, will certainly expedite and solidify my new career endeavors.

This course has been one of the best online courses that I have taken thus far (Mineral Project Management (a CIM Course)). If there is room for improvement, then I would like to suggest that a real project be studied from prefeasibility through to close out using actual numbers. This would be of assistance for those of us who would like to see an example of how the financial reporting requirements, Tables, S-Curves and cost reports are drawn up and interpreted. I believe that this would give the course a balance between theory and practical application and give the student an appreciation of how the two are combined. Thank you once again. It was a very good course and I have already used some of the material contained in the course.

February 20 2005

The course that I completed was very informative and interesting (Flotation 1 - Fundamentals). I hope I will be able to continue educating myself in the area of mineral processing.

November 29 2004

Thank you very much. Iam really enjoying the Edumine course set up (Practical Rock Engineering 2 - Structural Analysis). The material is well presented.

November 08 2004

I've just completed a few courses, I wanted to review and determine if there was any benefit for our mine site if our people were to take advantage of the web based learning packages. I reviewed courses as a subject matter expert and also did some courses in areas I wasn't so familiar with and was more than happy with the content and structure of the courses. It looks as though we would like to persue this as a company as one way of developing our people further.

September 22 2004

Thanks for your help. I believe that in Peru as well as in other countries we need the courses that Edumine offers. The course of Mineral Project Management I’ve taken, even though it took me a long time to complete, had a lot of things that are very interesting and useful. I’ll be applying the new concepts learned in my new assignment.

January 16 2004

I really did enjoy this course (Environmental Health and Safety - Emergency Response Planning), and look forward to following through on it's contents.

January 15 2004

I really enjoyed the information (course: Environmental Health and Safety - Emergency Preparedness), I feel that it will make me more aware, and marketable on the job market. Coming from a strictly dominant production background, I know it will assist me in my future endeavors.

January 12 2004

Course (Flotation 1 - Fundamentals) was very easy to follow and contained valuable information which should help with Mineral Processing work. Glad I took the course.

September 08 2003

Reference material for further study would have been nice (course: Maintenance Management (a CIM Course)).

July 14 2003

I found the course (Maintenance Management (a CIM Course)) a little simple but usefull.

June 09 2003

Another great and informative course (Underground Mining Methods and Equipment).

February 05 2003

Found the course (Exploration and Mining Geology 1 - The Geologic Baseline) to be informative, thought provoking, and challenging for a person at the graduate level of understanding of the field. It was a nice "brush-up" course. Text was enjoyed by the reviewer, and the reviews were comprehensive in coverage of the material. I'm looking forward to the next course ... thanks for the opportunity to partake in the certification process. I'm enjoying my learning experience.

May 21 2002

Practical Rock Engineering 2 - Structural Analysis is another excellent course, I was able to easily navigate through the course and apply the information during the reviews.

April 27 2002

Mr. Mackie has a great writing style making Mineral Project Management easy to understand and pleasant. I could relate to some of his experiences. For me it was necessary to fill in some gaps that I had on certain items and I appreciate that this course did it. Even a few good chuckles along the way topped it off. I would recommend this to all.

November 30 2001

Thanks for the help and quick certification. I need the PDH's for an engineering registration which is due at the end of the year. Your Mineral Project Management course was a lot of help.

Regards ... Mike

November 16 2001

I have enjoyed all of the Mineral Processing Courses. The courses contained lots of practical information on the fundamental principles of grinding and flotation. The sections on operation and control are directly applicable to any grinding/flotation mill. The courses were an excellent "refresher" for me. I believe they would be valuable training tools for mill operators.

Thanks ... John

October 30 2001

I have been going over the course material (Geotechnical Data Collection for Excavation in Rock) off and on for a week and have only today registered for certification. I have found the course very interesting and relevant to actual work in the field. I have been involved in two large geotechnical programmes in Canada in the NWT and Northern Ontario. I will be responsible for another geotech programme this winter and have found the course very informative as a review. As well it has given me some ideas that I will incorporate into this years programme that may save time and solve problems.

Thanks ... Dave

Thank you for your fast reply. I am begining to get worried because every week I need to consult Edumine. It has more courses and very nice pictures. Be sure I am using them here for my classes. Congratulations.

Regards ... Sergio
