Institute of Quarrying Reviews

Very good course, and a very well run and located venue, nothing is to much hassle for the staff..

I had some issues submitting assessments. But Kerry Froggett was an absolute legend with all her IT support and converting my work to PHF. She has been a great help to me and always friendly and available to help with anything.

good tutor very knowledgeable

Very interesting subject where I gained a lot of deeper knowledge esp during research for the assessment when comparing the course notes to live applications in the UK and locally.

I think the level of details was good and few more videos to demonstrate washing systems might be useful.

Some alignment to Heavy Clay Sector required which will be possible through collaboration with images supplied by sector operators. Consideration of time efficiency for quarry visit and assessing alternative 'appraisal' plan. Reduce Aberfan info. Some less applicable catastrophic event videos considered to be less suitable. Tom really portrayed the geotech elements well, from a text book method to practical experience which really helped land the course well.

material for the clay quarries group to be added into the course.

Really benefitted from this course. Much improved from when I did my level 4 in 2015. The format was good. Maybe needed a little more time from first face to face to the assessment but overall found the content at the right level and easy to follow the on line learning.

Very good

Enjoyed the course and the content, I think the professional conversation to follow up and confirm knowledge is a great idea even though I found that quite difficult (nervous) its too easy to say you have attended courses but do you really understand what you have learnt.
