DIPLOMA IN SLOPE STABILITY IN SOIL AND ROCK


BRIEF SUMMARY

This diploma program aims to train engineers and geologists in the topic of "Slope Stability," providing them with a solid understanding of the various commonly used methodologies for stability analysis in soils and rocks. Professionals who complete this program should be able to provide and verify the data used in analyses, validate the research results, and subsequently make appropriate recommendations for corrective actions. To achieve this, they will acquire not only knowledge of computerized analysis techniques but also a thorough understanding of structural geology, rock mechanics, and hydrogeology concepts. This will enable them to confidently assess the realism of the results.


TRAINING MODALITY

The modality presented is the “Virtual-OFFLINE” (Virtual asynchronous); in this you will develop a course every 30 days, which is made up of videos, materials, slides and questions to the speaker. At the end of each course, you must take an exam to pass it and move on to the next course.
You will be assigned the tutoring of a specialist and there will be no limitations in terms of access hours or consultations with the speaker, this promotes that you be trained efficiently. The hours dedicated to each module must be managed assertively to optimize the benefit. You will experience all of the above through our virtual campus, which will also allow us to monitor your progress.
