National Certificate or Diploma in Extractive Industries (Mining Administration) leading to Certificate of Competence (CoC)

These Mining Administration Qualifications were developed as a mirror to the CoC requirements, but provide the trainee with a National Certificate or Diploma in recognition of their achievement.

*NOTE* These Mining Administration Qualifications are NOT substitutes for the CoC’s. Applicants are still required to meet the additional requirements as detailed in the Gazette Notice of CoC Work Experience Requirements under the Health and Safety in Employment Mining Administration Regulations 1996.
