Dump Truck + Mining Induction Course Details
This is a 5 day face to face course, from 8.30am to 5pm.
This Dump Truck & Standard 11 Mining Induction course is aimed at participants to learn theoretical knowledge along with the advantage of practical experience operating a Caterpillar 773, 100 ton, dump truck. Joining in a replicated mining environment and following the same policies/procedures found at many mines, students gain a solid foundation that leads to employment. An additional benefit derived from this course is an opportunity to operate an excavator which is included as part of the overall experience.
In addition to this Dump Truck course, you will also gain the competencies of the Standard 11 Mining Induction course at the same time. We will cater this course to meet the needs of both outcomes in the same 5 day training session.
The Dump Truck & Standard 11 Mining Induction course program runs for the duration of five days, in which both in class theory as well as haul dump truck operating experience at a replicated mine site are utilised. Both day and night driving experience will be gained during this course. Plus, the Standard 11 Mining Induction theory and practical related mining scenario assignments will be utilised.
Eligible candidates must be 18 years and over and hold a current car driver's licence.
