The Extractive Metallurgy course was a great experience for me. I'm from Brazil, and I was looking for a course that would help me understand the fundamentals of metal extraction. The course content was solid, and I liked the way the instructor explained complex concepts in a simple way. One thing that stood out to me was the discussion on sustainable mining practices - it's an area I'm really interested in, and the course provided some valuable insights. The course materials were good, but I felt that some of the topics could have been explored in more depth. Overall, I'm satisfied with what I learned, and I'd recommend the course to others in the field.

I recently completed the Extractive Metallurgy course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. As a metallurgist from Denmark, I was looking to update my knowledge of the latest developments in the field. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications. One area that I found particularly interesting was the discussion on mineral processing - it's an area that I've been working in for some time, and the course provided some useful insights into new technologies and techniques. The course materials were good, but I felt that some of the topics could have been explored in more detail. Overall, I'm satisfied with what I learned, and I would recommend the course to others in the field.
