Professional Development
EduMine has grown in just over two years from a concept on InfoMine to an accredited provider of continuing education. With courses representing more than 700 hours of professional development, there is a significant following in the mining and geoscience communities, and recognition from mining institutions and universities. Until now, EduMine enrollment has been available only as one of the benefits provided by InfoMine subscription, however, viewing patterns have indicated strong viewer preferences for either EduMine or InfoMine, with relatively little cross traffic. To avoid an across-the-board rise in subscription fees to cover increased operating costs, we have decided to separate EduMine enrollment from InfoMine subscriptions. | | InfoMine Welcomesour Newest Clients!
