As a consultant, one of the main objectives is providing deliverables to clients. The type of deliverable depends on the scope of the project, and communication with the client is critical at all stages to ensure there is alignment of expectations that fits the project requirements. For example, a mineral resource estimation will adhere to the JORC Code whereas a report on exploration mapping for internal purpose will not.
This course focuses on engaging with a client on a project by understanding the key objectives and expectation of deliverables, eg client expectation, date of delivery, type and standard of report, etc.
You will learn about different types of reports and adhering to reporting codes such as JORC and VALMIN. The course will lead you to then become a Competent Person and qualified practitioner in your field.
