In the area of training, we aim to cut your training costs by bringing a virtual classroom to your doorstep. This will also make it possible for you to stay close to your work place and relate the knowledge gained from the course to your situation on-site. By participating in this internet-based course, you become part of an international virtual mining and construction community. You also become more advanced in working with a computer and its accessories.

This course runs you through why we need to worry about hole deviations in mining and construction operations, principles of drilling, the influence of rock on drilling, hole deviations and their occurrence, how to measure hole deviations, and what we can do about them.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Describe the different drilling techniques and their associated energy media and appreciate the different functions of drilling parameters for respective techniques,
• Describe the effects of rock on drilling and select equipment according to the rock type,
• Define hole deviations and appreciate their operational and economic consequences,
• Describe the different methods for measuring hole deviations and how to interpret data,
• Describe good drilling practice,
• Develop your own program on how to reduce drilling and hole deviation related costs in your operations.

DO NOT WAIT TO MAKE YOUR MINE COMPETITIVE, AND GOOD LUCK!!
