What to Start a Job in Mining?
Here's What You Need to Know.
Mining in Queensland offers great pay, strong job security, and the chance to build a lasting career. But before you can start working on a mine site, you need one essential qualification — your Standard 11 Mining Induction.
That’s where Core Crew Training (RTO #52802) comes in.
We’re a fully accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivering Standard 11 courses in Queensland: designed to get you qualified, compliant, and job-ready in just one day. Our courses are trusted by employers across the mining industry because they’re delivered by trainers with real on-site experience, not just classroom knowledge.
You’ll learn exactly what mine sites expect, gain the safety and compliance skills required under the Resources and Infrastructure (RII) training package, and walk away with a nationally recognised qualification ready to include on your resume immediately.
1. What is the Standard 11?
It’s the mandatory safety induction required to work on Queensland mine sites. It covers key safety, hazard, and emergency procedures.
2. How long does the course take?
Just one day with Core Crew Training. You’ll complete the practical and theory components with our experienced trainers.
3. Do I need experience to start in mining?
No. Many new entrants start in roles like trade assistant, entry-level operator, or cleaner. What matters most is having your Standard 11 and being site-ready.
4. Can you help me find a job after I complete the course?
We work closely with our sister company Core Crew, who specialise in mining recruitment. Once you’re certified, they can help connect you with job opportunities.
5. What should I bring to the course?
Just bring ID, enclosed shoes, and a good attitude. We’ll handle the rest.
