Geology Online Training

Many Earth processes, such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, can be dangerous to people. Geologists seek to understand these processes well enough to avoid constructing critical buildings in potentially hazardous areas. If geologists can create maps of locations that have already flooded, they can also create maps of areas that may flood in the future. These maps can guide community development and evaluate where flood protection or flood insurance is required.

Our Geology course will help you to learn the basic geological processes, focusing on where, when and why certain rocks and natural resources form on Earth. You'll also explore some of the environmental and sustainability concerns that geologists must address while harvesting and processing these resources.

Course Assessment

To simplify the procedure of evaluation and accreditation for learners, we provide an automated assessment system. Upon completion of an online module, you will immediately be given access to a specifically crafted MCQ test. The results will be evaluated instantly, and the score will be displayed for your perusal. For each test, the pass mark will be set to 60%.

When all tests have been successfully passed, you will be able to order a certificate endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme.
