Building skills now and for the future

摘要

The Institute of Quarrying (IQ) has a long and proud history of professional development for its members, through education, training and the sharing of best practice. From our establishment in 1917, our core purpose has been to develop competent and capable professionals and support individuals throughout their career. As members, we can look back with pride in recognizing that our Institute was at the forefront of delivering industry-relevant education and skills - from the very early days with the professional exam for membership evolving into the distance learning DAPS course, to the present day at the Centre for Mineral Products. These were not just innovations for our sector, but also represented innovation in the delivery of learning.
