The Tailings Center delivers comprehensive educational programs addressing industry needs at multiple levels. Our cornerstone initiative is an intensive, one-week Professional Certificate Course launching in June 2025 that provides hands-on training in tailings management fundamentals while offering CEUs for professionals. To increase accessibility, we’re developing a video-based online training program that leverages existing content for on-demand learning.
Complementing these efforts, our ongoing Graduate Certificate Program continues to evolve, with current enrollment demonstrating significant interest in tailings management across the three cooperating universities – Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University and University of Arizona.
