Recently two workshops were held for the mining industry focusing on Training and Competency.

The aim of the workshops was to provide help and advice on how to meet industry expectations in respect to training and the recognition and measurement of competence.

The workshops featured presentations from the Mines Inspectorate, SkillsDMC, the Department of Education, Training and Employment, the industry safety and health representative, Kinetic Group (formerly known as Mining Industry Skills Centre), the resources registered training organisation and mine operators.

The workshop covered a range of topics such as compliance with Recognised Standard 11 (Training in Coal Mines), the endorsed components of the RII09 Training package and national competency standards (Australian Quality Training Framework).
