Description
The Mining Technical Auditor Course has the purpose of training and updating the knowledge of professionals to carry out audits of the mining sector in Ecuador, through an academic, legal, professional and ethical basis of the personnel that proves suitability for the evaluation of the annual production reports submitted by mining concessionaires in accordance with the provisions of the Mining Law.
Sustainable development goals
Decent work and economic growth
Sustainable cities and communities
Objectives and methodology
Train Technical Mining Auditors to review audits in the mining sector of Ecuador.
Specific objectives
- Train professionals with degrees in Mining Engineering, Geology or Geotechnics in mining aspects.
- Update professionals with Mining Engineering, Geology or Geotechnics degrees in the latest technologies for mining development.
Methodology
The Mining Technical Auditor Course will be developed virtually, through the Zoom platform, which will allow maintaining contact with teachers, for the acquisition of the concepts and tools used in the development of mining activities in Ecuador. In addition, a certain number of hours of tutorials will be established, in which the participants will develop tasks or work to apply the concepts acquired in the classes, this will allow a significant teaching-learning process.
