Blasting engineering
ISEE / PESO / a licensed blaster. We record a plan. We never author one.
Study notes. Not a certificate. Not a licence. Not NEBOSH, PESO, ISEE, or IDE. We never design the charge, spacing, or the cut. Site hours and statutory papers have no video substitute.
Rock drilling — mechanisms, drillability, bit and rig selection.
We will not teach this. Charge, spacing, burden, cut geometry, explosive formulation, initiation design — licensed people and the named issuer where you work. This line is on the map so you know the skill exists. It is not a lecture and not a recipe.

Drilling machines and accuracy; deviation and why it matters.
We will not teach this. Charge, spacing, burden, cut geometry, explosive formulation, initiation design — licensed people and the named issuer where you work. This line is on the map so you know the skill exists. It is not a lecture and not a recipe.

Explosive selection against rock and water conditions.
We will not teach this. Charge, spacing, burden, cut geometry, explosive formulation, initiation design — licensed people and the named issuer where you work. This line is on the map so you know the skill exists. It is not a lecture and not a recipe.

Blast geometry vocabulary: burden, spacing, stemming, subdrill, bench height. Vocabulary and physics — the design itself is licensed work.
We will not teach this. Charge, spacing, burden, cut geometry, explosive formulation, initiation design — licensed people and the named issuer where you work. This line is on the map so you know the skill exists. It is not a lecture and not a recipe.
