Frequently Asked Questions

I am a very busy, working professional in the mining industry looking to advance my career with professional development courses. What's the best pathway for me?
We understand that as a busy working professional, you are seeking to excel in your career in the mining industry, but at the same time you may not have the time to attend in-person classes or commit to standard 12-week semesters.

The “Professional Development” pathway will provide you with a fully online and self-paced learning experience. You will have access to the online course modules for a period of 10 months from the start date – giving you the time to learn while you work!

Are all MIMP courses fully online and self-paced?

It depends on which pathway you take! Taking the “Professional Development” pathway will provide a fully-online and self-paced learning experience. Students will have access to the online modules for a period of 10 months from the course access date. However, this pathway is only available to those who are external to U of T, or U of T alumni that are not current U of T students.



Due to U of T policy, current U of T students are NOT eligible to take this pathway. They can still take MIMP courses but they must register directly through ACORN, and complete the course in a much faster, 12-week period. Current students from other universities are eligible to take this course.
