This program provides professional development in mine ventilation and environment for mining engineers and other mining personnel. It is delivered in a distant, flexible format using an internet platform. The Diploma is structured so that it can be tailored to the needs of either the metalliferous or coal mining sectors. The accredited programs offered by UNSW for the appointment of Statutory Coal Mine Ventilation Officers in both NSW and Qld can be taken as options in the Diploma. The course contents have been developed from standard texts, industry guidelines and case studies. These are delivered from both a theoretical and operational perspective with the aim that course contents will be immediately relevant to industry. The program is affiliated to the Australian National Centre for Mine Ventilation (ANCMV), established in 1999 as an initiative of MTEC, the tertiary minerals education arm of the Minerals Council of Australia.
