Supplementing Your Knowledge Base

 

 

XPS training is geared to help plant operators and engineers enhance their technical skills and knowledge to help improve day-to-day operations leading to Operational Performance Excellence. Our core services include both off-the-shelf and custom course programs for clients seeking to supplement their own expertise or train new personnel in mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, materials technology, process control and plant optimisation, and general operations.

 

Our course programs use multiple delivery options to meet our clients’ unique needs, from on-site support to training material and presentations. Services include the development of operations-specific courses, creation of documentation and procedures and on-site workshops to develop site skills. Instructor-led classes provide hands-on, site-specific training that translates directly to operations improvements and best-practices implementation.
