Training
Through its ENAG School, the BRGM provides training support for higher education programmes in the geosciences. The BRGM`s training branch, “BRGM Formation”, offers short continuing training courses for professionals.
BRGM disseminates its scientific competences and techniques through training courses that include:
- Higher education diploma courses in the geosciences, by providing training support and developing partnerships with higher education establishments;
- Continuing professional training through our training branch, “BRGM Formation”, which offers some sixty introductory and advanced courses in all of the BRGM`s fields of expertise.
Higher education diploma courses
ENAG, the National School of Applied Geosciences, was founded in 2009 by the BRGM to provide higher education courses in our specialised topic areas, working closely with universities and other prestigious higher education institutes (Grandes Ecoles).
Through its supporting activities in higher education, ENAG, the BRGM`s geosciences school, is expanding the range of highly specialised training in the geosciences to cater for evolving needs in industry and society in all areas involving the subsoil.
It does so by developing collaborative programmes to support different academic organisations. The educational partnership agreements currently signed or under preparation concern:
- A 2nd-year Master`s course on “Geology and sustainable mineral resource management” (Enag-2GR) offered as part of the University of Orléans Master’s curriculum on “Earth and Environment Sciences”.
- A vocational first degree course to train depollution technicians for work in contaminated sites, which will open in September 2015 at the University of Paris-Est at Marne-la-Vallée (UPEM), in partnership with ENAG.
To meet needs for short continuing training courses, BRGM`s training branch offers training in subsoil management in its different areas of competence: groundwaters, polluted sites, geothermal energy, geology, mineral resources and metrology.
The BRGM’s short courses are an asset for decision-making in the fields of planning, environment and sustainable development. They are open to decision-makers, planners, public and private-sector project developers, engineering consultancies and businesses.
