RII40320 – Certificate IV In Underground Metalliferous Mining Operations

Course Description

A full Certificate IV qualification comprising of 16 Units of Competency (8 Core and 8 Electives). This program is aimed at personnel with several years’ experience in underground mining operations, and wishing to progress their career into supervisory roles. Although not mandatory, ideally candidates have a Cert II or III in mining-related Units of Competency and/or a BEUL (Blast End User Licence). This course is designed to meet the mandatory requirements of the NSW Resource Regulator so candidates can then apply for the Statutory Certificate of Competency as an Underground Mining Supervisor.

To obtain this qualification, candidates must successfully complete the required assessment tasks.

The on-line course provides the candidate access to all the training material and assessments required to be completed. It is self paced and requires the candidate to drive their own progress. Ocurrio will provide remote support and guidance through emails.  There is no face-to-face time.  This delivery method may be more suitable to a very experienced individual who is wanting to get their stat ticket in NSW and there are no public courses.  Contact us though because we conduct a range of face-to-face sessions at mine sites and those companies may approve for you to attend!

Corporate with Face to Face Sessions

This is our preferred and most sought after format. A typical program will involve a minimum of 10 days face-to-face training over 5-6 months (e.g.) 2 days a month for 5 months. The program can be tailored for the level experience of the candidates and the site requirements. The program includes:

• Class discussions and sharing learnings
• Class activities, videos and team exercises
• Underground inspection
• Time to work on assessments and ask the trainer for assistance and further information directly
• Use of your company’s forms and procedures wherever possible (e.g. workplace inspection, JHA, Risk Assessment, pre-start etc.

3 x Specialist Guest Speakers provided by the mining company for the topics:

• Ventilation
• Geotechnical
• Environment

This allows plenty of learning opportunities with our very experienced trainer but also time to practice and apply the skills back in the workplace between classes. The final day is for the candidates to present their improvement projects that have been selected by the candidates and endorsed by the company on real aspects at their workplace that can be improved (e.g. safety innovation, new procedure etc.)
