THE MINERALS COUNCIL EXAMINATION DEPARTMENT
Minerals Council Chamber of Mines Certificates were introduced to standardise standalone inhouse certifications for people working in the South African mining and minerals industries.
All exams written by the Survey, Sampling, Ventilation, and Rock Mechanics disciplines are organized and administered by the Minerals Council.
The Minerals Council is also in charge of issuing the necessary certifications.
The qualification enables the candidate to do their job with greater confidence and understanding, paving the route for them to advance to a senior position.
Candidates must undergo training in specific subjects as well as complete several notional hours before appearing for the Minerals Council Chamber of Mines Certificates examinations.
