Training

Management Level Training

We offer comprehensive exploration management level training on a variety of topics. Our training modules can be provided in-house and tailored to that client’s individual needs. We also teach open enrollment in-person SEM Courses ( LEARN MORE). Each covers a comprehensive range of topics of interest to any who aspire to management roles in mineral exploration.

We have been offering a comprehensive on-line SEM Course. However, that component of our training is currently on hold while we update the materials, revamp the enrolment process and revise the cost structure. News of its availability will be posted on this WMS site when that work is done

Upcoming Senior Exploration Management Courses

  • We will present the SEM Course in Denver (Colorado) 2-5 December 2025 at the SEG Littleton Headquarters.
  • The next Perth (WA) open-enrollment SEM Course is confirmed for 24-27 February 2026 at the customary St Catherine’s on Park venue.

Contact Jeff Welborn (jeff.welborn@wesminllc.com) for more information.

We at WMS are proud that the feedback on our SEM Course continues to be very positive and that interest continues to be strong. The upcoming Perth 2026 SEM Course marks our 27th open-enrollment SEM Course since we began the course in 2009. We now have over 900 SEM Course alumni in countries around the world.
