From grassroots exploration to mine-site operation, the Northern College Mineral Exploration Techniques certificate will give you the knowledge and skills you need as a valued member of a mineral exploration team.
Combining on-site and distance learning, this full-time one-year program ends with a two-week field placement where you’re guaranteed to get your hands dirty.
And – along the way – you’ll gain comprehensive skills and a broad understanding of one of the world’s biggest growth industries.
Coursework covers everything from ore signatures and environmental practices to bush safety and survival.
This program of study at Northern College also opens the door to continuing studies at the Haileybury School of Mines and beyond. So this really could be the start of something big.
The modular format and distance or in-class delivery of this program provide the flexibility for students to study while maintaining their employment and cater to students in remote northern communities.
Graduates are ready to enter the job market with a college certificate after only one year of study.
