Training Catalog

At the end of this training, you will be able to implement development, maintenance, protection, enhancement and promotion projects for natural areas. You will be able to mediate and lead a policy for the management, planning and development of recreational areas while mastering the understanding of territorial issues by acquiring the methods and tools of territorial engineering (diagnostic of territory, project management, strategic support, GIS, cartography, survey).

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…

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

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 DESJEPS attests to a qualification for the exercise of a professional activity of technical expertise and management in the various fields of speleology. It is part of the guidelines of development of outdoor sports carried by the supervisory bodies (Ministry of Sports, Environment, National Education) which take into account educational aspects, access to practice areas, knowledge sharing, multi activity, socio-economic and environmental impacts.

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

Place : Ardèche

Duration: 140 hrs (common core + 1 specialty),
210h (core course + 2 specialties)

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).

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 situation (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 ascent. Manage my emotions related to progression 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 :

Be able to justify an experience in progress on ropes in the last two years : level 3rd bat delivered by the FFS or the SNPSC or to have followed level 1. Regular sports practice.
