I recently completed the Advanced Certificate in Extractive Metallurgy (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. As a geologist, I was looking to expand my knowledge in extractive metallurgy, and this course provided a thorough understanding of the subject matter. The course materials were detailed and well-researched, and the instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions. I appreciated the emphasis on safety and environmental responsibility in the industry. The course has already helped me in my work, particularly in understanding the metallurgical aspects of mineral processing. One suggestion I have is to include more South American case studies, as the course was somewhat biased towards Australian and North American examples. Nevertheless, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their career in extractive metallurgy.
