Training Catalog

This training approaches the knowledge of underground environment and topography. The environment teammate is made of :

• a module about the legal environment knowledge about the practice of speleology in a protected natural area with the meeting of a partner network
• a fieldwork aiming at the documentation of a cavity and its heritage assessment. This works leans on knowledges in the areas of topography, karstology, geology, biospeleology, climatology, etc…

The specialized Masters in Mining Exploitation and Environment for professional purposes aims to meet the growing demand for executives specialized in mining mainly in French-speaking countries producing raw materials. The ambition is to respond more specifically to the phases of the mining process “Mining Studies, Mining Projects and Extraction“. The proposed program highlights, in a very pragmatic way, the environmental, societal and economic challenges of a farm, from the discovery of a deposit, to the abandonment of the site.

Access conditions : a title of engineer (generalist or specialized) or a technical or scientific Master 2 or a technical or scientific Master 1 coupled with 3 years of professional experience in the field of Extractive Industry

Training focused on the place of research in the definition of environmental, sociocultural and territorial responses adapted to the context of current global change (climatic, economic, uses, etc.). It is part of a global approach to the current problems of knowledge of geosystems (mountain, karst, rural …) of integrated management and reasoned development. Anchored in the interdisciplinary synergies between environmental and territorial research/engineering, the course offers around thirty modules on current research concepts and on tools for acquiring and processing spatial data.

Duration : 1 year including an internship of 4 to 6 months in the EDYTEM laboratory

Access conditions : Master 1 in geography, environmental sciences, geosciences, human and social sciences, engineers in 3rd year of Ecole des Mines, continuing education (after validation of prior learning).

Access terms : BA, APEL, APEPL

Training aimed at professionalizing those involved in guiding in touristic, cultural and heritage sites by acquiring tools and methods of mediation, as well as those involved in interpretation and museography. It gives access to the professional licence, necessary to guide in the museums of France, the national monuments and the Cities and Countries of Art and History.

Training to learn to inventory the heritage, natural and cultural capital of a territory in order to define touristic products adapted to the requirements of the territory, the economy and customers. Thus, it allows holders to collaborate in the creation, evaluation, development and promotion of complete touristic packages.

The Environment, Energy & Risks department aims to train engineers capable of ensuring the development and quality of life of future generations while protecting our planet. It is divided into two options, Energy and Environment, and Natural and Industrial Risks.

The «Energy and Environment» option is dedicated to two major issues of society : the control of energy and the preservation of the environment. Students from this course will be able to imagine and propose intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to meet the expectations of reducing environmental impact and energy performance. Along with strong technical skills, they will demonstrate real leadership, communication and convincing skills. They can integrate large groups, Smes/Smis, engineering offices, communities as a Research Manager, Business Manager, Site Manager or Environment Manager. They are addressed to become, eventually, managers.

The engineer specializing in major risks relies on solid generalist training. This expert has a very good knowledge of major risks, of the modeling of their consequences, of their impacts on the territory and of the means of prevention and crisis management. He can evolve as well as a manager in the QHSE (Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Environment) direction of an industrial company or in a design and engineering office in risks (technological and natural risks) as in administration or the local collectives.

Access conditions : Preparation course, DUT, License, Master 1, APEL classes

The WISE International Masters course (Water sciences and management in a

Changing World) is aimed at foreign students, particularly targeting countries in the South, to train technical executives in water resource management. Resulting from the collaboration between IMT Mines Alès, the University of Montpellier (Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy) Agroparistech and Supagro, this training will provide from 2021 for the first year and 2022 for the second year of English lessons focused around integrated water management issues.

In the areas of hydroclimatic risks, deep water, drinking water and sanitation, irrigation and wetland ecosystems, this course will also provide students with all the organizational, technical and linguistic tools to develop in-depth skills, facilitating their integration into the job market. Supported by a desire for mutualisation between the training provided by the various actors, the pedagogy implemented will be innovative, focused on learning by experience with a large volume of land and projects, supplemented by internships in companies or in laboratory.

Access conditions : BA

Under the responsibility of a competent person, you can explore a cavity or a cliff on simple obstacles.

Targeted skills :

Name, position and adjust the individual equipment necessary to progress underground. Progress on varied situation (climbing, de-climbing). Identify a handrail and know how to move safely on it. Move on ropes when climbing and descending : identify a wellhead, put my descender and descend a small vertical, stop on a rope with a descender, cross a deviation on both the descent and the climb, cross a simple splitting on the descent as on the ascent. Manage my emotions related to progression techniques. Respect the environment in which I progress.

Targeted audience :

Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, students, higher education teachers, researchers, technicians from design offices.

Terms of Access :

Be able to justify an experience in progress on ropes in the last two years : level 3rd bat delivered by the FFS or the SNPSC or to have followed level 1. Regular sports practice.
