Run IQ Connect on PC or Mac

Upgrade your experience. Try IQ Connect, the fantastic Productivity app from The Institute of Quarrying, from the comfort of your laptop, PC, or Mac, only on BlueStacks.

IQ Connect feels like a clean, no-nonsense handbook for anyone in the mineral products and extractives world. It pulls together recognised standards, core principles, and step-by-step processes into short, readable chunks, so a supervisor or plant lead can find what they need without digging around for ages. The content spans the full run from extraction to processing, so someone can hop between topics like blasting, crushing, screening, quality control, safety, and environmental bits without losing the thread. It is global in scope, so the language and examples do not feel locked to one place, which helps when teams are spread across sites or countries.

The neat part is the IQ Skills Wheel. It is basically a simple way to map what someone knows already, spot gaps, and plan where to build next. Not flashy, just practical, which suits the industry. Since it is from The Institute of Quarrying, there is a century of experience behind it, and that shows in how grounded the guidance is. On a PC with BlueStacks, the layout is easier to scan, and it is nicer for longer reading sessions or when someone wants to keep a section open next to emails or a report. Overall it comes across as a solid reference people can rely on during busy days, whether they are running operations or looking after training and development.

BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
