Training Catalog

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.

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 in the teaching of speleology and in the expertise of the underground world both on sporting and scientific aspects. The professional field includes the sector of training, education, leisure, tourism, environment, research and expertise, local authorities (educators, advisers of APS). The holder of the DEJEPS specialization speleology can supervise speleology independently or within any professional or federal structure.

You need to take compulsory test prior to the training. APEL (excepted UC4)

Place : Ardèche

Duration: 140 hrs (common core + 1 specialty),
210h (core course + 2 specialties)
Core : 2 blocks of skills of 5 days each

Specialties : 2 skill blocks of 5 days each per specialty

Frequency : Annual. Launch of the training in 2021. Possibility of doing it over 2 years (especially with the aim of following the 2 specialties)

Objectives : complete your knowledge of underground environments and learn how to use them to improve conservation, management practices and methods of developing underground environments and heritage.

Core curriculum : appropriating knowledge of underground environments and their links with the outside (environment, uses, development), becoming familiar with the issues of heritage value assessment, management and development, mediation of underground environments and karst landscapes.

Specialties :

• « Tourism, mediation and interpretation of underground and karst landscapes ».
• « Conservation and management of underground environments and heritage ».

Targeted audience :
Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, supervisors and sports monitors, consultants and design offices dealing with underground environments.

Terms of Access :
Bac + 2 or equivalent and / or experience in the field of caves and underground environments – APEPL possible for candidates holding the bac (ALevel).

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 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

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…
