Online - 1-Day Experienced Entrant / Refresher - Standard 11 Generic Coal Induction - Surface

Industry Experience

This course is designed for students who have previous resources industry experience (including those who currently work on a coal mine and need to refresh their Standard 11 accreditation). The course timeframe has been reduced to account for students’ prior knowledge & skills.

To be eligible, you must be able to provide evidence of at least 3 months work experience on a resources industry site in the last 5 years.

If you do not have the required evidence or do not have resources industry experience, you should attend the 2-day Standard 11 program.

The course is delivered via Zoom, with assessments and activities completed via our online Learner Portal (meaning assessments are marked in real-time by the trainer and the student is supported throughout the course).

WorkSafe Connect offers online real-time video-led training to ensure students who reside outside of Queensland can complete the course requirements and achieve a Statement of Attainment prior to coming to Queensland.

The Standard 11 (S11) is the recognised training standard associated with the Queensland Coal Mining industry. The specific legislation relating to this Standard is the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act 1999 and the Coal Mine Safety and Health Regulations 2001.

Currency of your Standard 11 relates to when you completed either your initial training course or a refresher – i.e., if you completed your Standard 11 training 3 years ago then your Standard 11 remains current.

As set out in the Recognised Standard, each coal mine worker must hold the Standard 11 qualification and this qualification must then be refreshed under the mine training scheme at least once in every five years.

If you do require a refresher of your Standard 11, WorkSafe Connect offers a 1-day Standard 11 (S11) training course. Full details can be found by clicking on the following link: https://www.worksafeconnect.com/courses/refresher-standard-11-generic-coal-induction-gi

5 years.

As set out in the ‘Recognised Standard 11 – Training in Coal Mines’ issued by the Queensland Department of Resources, each coal mine worker must hold the Standard 11 qualification (i.e., 6 units of competency) and this must be refreshed under the mine training scheme at least once in every five years.

While the national units of competency associated with the Standard 11 (S11) do not expire (similar to other competencies like CPR), your accreditation must be refreshed in order to continue to legally work on a Queensland coal mine.

If you do require a refresher of your Standard 11, WorkSafe Connect offers a 1-day Standard 11 (S11) training course. Full details can be found by clicking on the following link: https://www.worksafeconnect.com/courses/refresher-standard-11-generic-coal-induction-gi

Yes.

The Standard 11 induction program is recognised and accepted across most coal mines and locations in Queensland. Once you successfully complete the program, you will receive a statement of attainment, which is a portable qualification valid throughout the state's coal mining industry.

The main exception is BMA mine sites as they often have their own induction process. If you are heading to a BMA mine site, we recommend you contact the BMA mine site regarding their entry requirements prior to enrolling in this course.

If you have any questions regarding what course is the right one for you then please call us and we will be happy to work with you to make sure the course is suitable for your requirements.

Yes.

Although some RTOs only issue statements of completion, WorkSafe Connect will issue a new Statement of Attainment for the six units of competency as the requirements of Recognised Standard 11 Surface- Training in Coal Mines.

This will be valid for a further 5 years until their next refresher period.
