Presentation of certificates

PRACTICAL INFORMATION 

● Background and justification 

    Faced with the increasing development of natural resource exploitation activities in African countries in general, and in Cameroon in particular, there appears to be a real lack or insufficiency of human resources qualified to master these new issues at the heart of development. This state of affairs seems to be exacerbated by the non-existence of cutting-edge training courses open to all on the continent, and particularly in Cameroon.

    And yet, to achieve their objectives, governments, public companies and other private operators need to have sufficient, competent human resources at their disposal. 
    It therefore seems essential to set up short but highly specialized training courses to rapidly enable not only those human resources already mobilized to supervise, manage or monitor the exploitation of mining and petroleum resources on the one hand, and the production and marketing of energy on the other; but also anyone who might be interested in these strategic issues.

● Training objectives

The main objective of these training courses is to train staff from various backgrounds, or to strengthen the skills of some of them, so that they can master all mining and energy activity chains, both upstream and downstream. 
They also aim to fill the gap in terms of training available in African states on mining and energy issues.

● Target audience
The target audience will be professionals and various players at national, African and international level working as : 

• Executives of mining, oil and energy companies 
  - Executives of companies and public establishments in the sector
  - Corporate executives
  - Members of the professions (lawyers, bailiffs, notaries, etc.)
  - Young students in search of promising training sectors
  - Executive members of decentralized local authorities (regions and communes) and executives dedicated to supervising and monitoring artisanal mining activities...etc.
