The Importance of Professional Development
For AusIMM members to be part of the global minerals industry, our professionals must engage in various types of continuing professional development (CPD). As the minerals industry experiences rapid advances in technology, CPD assists members in keeping ahead of the group rather than relying on skills that were gained or taught several years before.
The purpose of participating in CPD activities is to:
- maintain or increase levels of
technical and professional competence;
- extend the range of professional
skills;
- develop new areas of expertise;
- promote confidence and pride in their
work;
- establish links with fellow
professionals; and
- increase and broaden career options.
AusIMM Chartered Professionals engage in CPD activities as a requirement of their Accreditation. Further information can be found under Chartered Professionals.
CPD Guidelines
The AusIMM provides guidelines to members on compliance with requirements to engage in continuing professional development and education. These guidelines are located in the Members Only section of the website.
Continuing Professional Development Opportunities
As a service to members, The AusIMM lists a number of CPD providers of both a commercial and non-commercial nature. These providers regularly run courses, training or events that contribute to maintaining an up-to-date skills base. Information on these providers can be found in the Members Only section of the website.
AusIMM Branches may also be able to assist with information on Continuing Professional Development opportunities within the region, including technical courses, presentations, seminars and conferences. Please check the relevant Branch website for calendars of events and contact details if you are traveling within the region.
