Case Study: Kumtor Gold Mine achieves best-ever training records and major time savings with VelocityEHS

Central Asian Mine Strikes Gold with Velocityehs

Kumtor Gold Mine, operated by Centerra Gold in Kyrgyzstan, is one of Central Asia’s largest mines and the country’s biggest non-governmental employer, producing hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold annually. The company struggled with manual training records and needed an electronic training management system that supported Russian and fit their operational requirements.

Kumtor implemented the VelocityEHS Training Management system, which delivered easy-to-use Russian-language functionality, class scheduling and refresher tracking. The system immediately improved reporting for regulators, tightened 12‑month training cycles, increased class efficiency, reduced wasted training hours and produced the best training records the company has had — prompting expansion into VelocityEHS On‑Demand training and ongoing strong vendor support.
