AusIMM has launched a new online course, the Associate Certificate in Report Writing for Mining, designed to equip mining professionals with the skills necessary to deliver clear, accurate, and persuasive reports.
Set to commence on October 28, 2024, this five-week course provides a comprehensive curriculum tailored specifically to the unique needs of the mining industry.
The course joins AusIMM’s stable of technical online courses, which includes JORC Code Reporting, Cost Estimation for the Resources Industry and Geophysics for Mining Professionals.
Elevating reporting standards in mining
In an industry where the stakes are high, accurate and compelling reports are critical for securing approvals, funding, and stakeholder trust.
AusIMM’s new course responds to this need by empowering mining professionals with advanced writing skills that directly contribute to their organisations’ safety, compliance, and operational success. Participants will learn to communicate complex technical information effectively, ensuring their reports support informed decision-making and reinforce their credibility as professionals in the field.
Course highlights
Delivered entirely online, the Report Writing for Mining course offers participants a practical, hands-on learning experience. Key aspects of the course include:
- real-World applications: the curriculum uses industry-specific examples and scenarios to demonstrate effective report writing, covering critical report types such as mining studies, Competent Person reports, and ASX announcements
- flexible learning: participants will gain actionable skills for structuring, drafting, and editing technical reports directly from the experts through live virtual classrooms or view session recordings, to fit around other work commitments
- industry-relevant content: developed in collaboration with leading mining organisations and subject matter experts, the course integrates deep industry knowledge, ensuring participants understand and meet the expectations and opportunities unique to the mining sector. The course is delivered by head facilitator Tim McAuley, an engineering writer with over 25 years experience, who specialises in the production of technical reports for large mining studies
- community learning: participants can tap into the knowledge and experiences of a global cohort. Both a chat forum and live virtual classrooms provide participants with a chance to expand their local and international connections.
