Extractive Industry Training Advisory Group
MinEx works to support the provision of good quality training. It has established an Extractive Industry Training Advisory Group to ensure that training for mining, tunnelling and quarry operators fit the needs of the industry.
Any mine, tunnel or quarry has to be operated by someone with a Certificate of Competence (CoC). There are requirements to update CoCs and to take part in Continuing Professional Development, CPD. See our Certificates of Competency page for more information.
MinEx works with organisations including MITO, and Hanga-Aro-Rau (Workforce Development Council) who support vocational education for our sector.
Training is delivered by a range of providers in various locations around NZ and can be arranged through MITO, Tai Poutini, Mines Rescue and ACT Safety.
These organisations can arrange training for everything from entry level positions through to operations, supervision and management.
