Training Catalog

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

At the end of this training, you will be able to implement development, maintenance, protection, enhancement and promotion projects for natural areas. You will be able to mediate and lead a policy for the management, planning and development of recreational areas while mastering the understanding of territorial issues by acquiring the methods and tools of territorial engineering (diagnostic of territory, project management, strategic support, GIS, cartography, survey).

These courses are modules which aim to complete the technical training of the speleologist. Many scientific themes, documentation techniques can be proposed among which we can find : Photography/ Karstology/ Hydrogeology/ Biospeleology/ Topography/ Underground markup/ Archeology.

These modules are open to all curious speleologists and do not require any particular physical or technical commitment.

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 certificate of federal initiator of speleology constitutes the first degree of teaching certificates of the French Federation of Speleology. The federal initiator of speleology is above all a club trainer, but is also empowered to supervise personal training internships, various teaching actions and specialized internships according to his skills and within the limits of his prerogatives within the FFS and within organizations outside the FFS in primary schools for class 2 cavities.

Minimum age 16 years old (with parental authorization, certificate issued at 18 years old)

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.

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…

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 situations (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 climb. Manage my emotions related to progress 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 :
Sports practice desired
