Our Western Mining Services SEM Course Continues!
The popular WMS Senior Exploration Manager Course returns to Perth and Denver in 2024
This Course is designed for all who are Senior Exploration Managers, who aspire to be senior managers or who routinely work with and support Senior Exploration Managers and want a better understanding of the challenges of management level positions in our industry.
Since the pandemic hiatus (2020-21), we have now presented the Course three times, twice in Perth and once in Denver. Each was successful and well-received; however, equally important, we received helpful feedback especially about optimum timing and location for each Course.
As a result, we can CONFIRM that we will present the Course in both Perth and Denver during 2024:
- Perth: 27 Feb – 1 March 2024. PLEASE NOTE THIS DATE CHANGE! The venue is the same as it has been for the last several years — St. Catherine’s on Park, 2 Park Road, Crawley WA 6009, and the tuition is AUD$3, 900 (exclusive of GST).
- Denver: 15-18 October 2024, at a Denver venue that has not yet been decided. The tuition for this Denver Course is US$3,200.
Please watch this site for confirmation of the Denver venue and for links to the Course brochures.
if you have questions, or if you simply wish to guarantee a place now in Perth or Denver, please contact Jeff Welborn, jeff.welborn@wesminllc.com.
