Mine Leader

Mine Leader Training course

( The mine leader awards used to be called Level 1 ) 

Survey interpretation

Course overview

This rewarding and interesting training course follows the BCA syllabus. We visit 2 mines over the 2 days, one being a slate and the other a metal mine allowing us to see and explore first hand the different types of mine and what they offer the explorer and leader. The course will consist of at least 75% of the time underground and gives the perfect insight to what you need to know to become a mine leader.

Not to worry if you do not have the full pre course experience, get in touch and we can discuss this aspect in view of attending the course. All my courses are of a relaxed nature and you should not be concerned ref your mine knowledge and its not an issue if you have never used ropes before. Thats my role to educate and train you.

Please do get in touch if your unsure if this course is for you or you wish to gain more insight into the BCA awards and how to gain these.
