Training Catalog

Training to learn to inventory the heritage, natural and cultural capital of a territory in order to define touristic products adapted to the requirements of the territory, the economy and customers. Thus, it allows holders to collaborate in the creation, evaluation, development and promotion of complete touristic packages.

The specialized Masters in Mining Exploitation and Environment for professional purposes aims to meet the growing demand for executives specialized in mining mainly in French-speaking countries producing raw materials. The ambition is to respond more specifically to the phases of the mining process “Mining Studies, Mining Projects and Extraction“. The proposed program highlights, in a very pragmatic way, the environmental, societal and economic challenges of a farm, from the discovery of a deposit, to the abandonment of the site.

Access conditions : a title of engineer (generalist or specialized) or a technical or scientific Master 2 or a technical or scientific Master 1 coupled with 3 years of professional experience in the field of Extractive Industry

The Environment, Energy & Risks department aims to train engineers capable of ensuring the development and quality of life of future generations while protecting our planet. It is divided into two options, Energy and Environment, and Natural and Industrial Risks.

The «Energy and Environment» option is dedicated to two major issues of society : the control of energy and the preservation of the environment. Students from this course will be able to imagine and propose intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to meet the expectations of reducing environmental impact and energy performance. Along with strong technical skills, they will demonstrate real leadership, communication and convincing skills. They can integrate large groups, Smes/Smis, engineering offices, communities as a Research Manager, Business Manager, Site Manager or Environment Manager. They are addressed to become, eventually, managers.

The engineer specializing in major risks relies on solid generalist training. This expert has a very good knowledge of major risks, of the modeling of their consequences, of their impacts on the territory and of the means of prevention and crisis management. He can evolve as well as a manager in the QHSE (Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Environment) direction of an industrial company or in a design and engineering office in risks (technological and natural risks) as in administration or the local collectives.

Access conditions : Preparation course, DUT, License, Master 1, APEL classes

Place : Ardèche

Duration: 140 hrs (common core + 1 specialty),
210h (core course + 2 specialties)
Core : 2 blocks of skills of 5 days each

Specialties : 2 skill blocks of 5 days each per specialty

Frequency : Annual. Launch of the training in 2021. Possibility of doing it over 2 years (especially with the aim of following the 2 specialties)

Objectives : complete your knowledge of underground environments and learn how to use them to improve conservation, management practices and methods of developing underground environments and heritage.

Core curriculum : appropriating knowledge of underground environments and their links with the outside (environment, uses, development), becoming familiar with the issues of heritage value assessment, management and development, mediation of underground environments and karst landscapes.

Specialties :

• « Tourism, mediation and interpretation of underground and karst landscapes ».
• « Conservation and management of underground environments and heritage ».

Targeted audience :
Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, supervisors and sports monitors, consultants and design offices dealing with underground environments.

Terms of Access :
Bac + 2 or equivalent and / or experience in the field of caves and underground environments – APEPL possible for candidates holding the bac (ALevel).

This training approaches the knowledge of underground environment and topography. The environment teammate is made of :

• a module about the legal environment knowledge about the practice of speleology in a protected natural area with the meeting of a partner network
• a fieldwork aiming at the documentation of a cavity and its heritage assessment. This works leans on knowledges in the areas of topography, karstology, geology, biospeleology, climatology, etc…

Under the responsibility of a competent person, you can explore a cavity or a cliff on simple obstacles.

Targeted skills :
Name, position and adjust the individual equipment necessary to progress underground. Progress on varied situations (climbing, de-climbing). Identify a handrail and know how to move safely on it. Move on ropes when climbing and descending : identify a wellhead, put my descender and descend a small vertical, stop on a rope with a descender, cross a deviation on both the descent and the climb, cross a simple splitting on the descent as on the climb. Manage my emotions related to progress techniques. Respect the environment in which I progress.

Targeted audience :
Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, students, higher education teachers, researchers, technicians from design offices.

Terms of Access :
Sports practice desired

Training in the teaching of speleology and in the expertise of the underground world both on sporting and scientific aspects. The professional field includes the sector of training, education, leisure, tourism, environment, research and expertise, local authorities (educators, advisers of APS). The holder of the DEJEPS specialization speleology can supervise speleology independently or within any professional or federal structure.

You need to take compulsory test prior to the training. APEL (excepted UC4)

These courses are modules which aim to complete the technical training of the speleologist. Many scientific themes, documentation techniques can be proposed among which we can find : Photography/ Karstology/ Hydrogeology/ Biospeleology/ Topography/ Underground markup/ Archeology.

These modules are open to all curious speleologists and do not require any particular physical or technical commitment.
