National Certificate in Extractive Industries (Introductory Skills) (Level 2) with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction

The National Certificate in Extractive Industries (Introductory Skills) (Level 2) with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction is designed for an entry-level worker at a surface or underground extraction site. The qualification comprises compulsory and elective sections that recognise the skills and knowledge required to work in extractive industries and strands for surface and underground contexts.

The core compulsory section recognises skills and knowledge related to health and safety in the workplace, first aid, and basic fire fighting. These skills and knowledge prepare candidates for the potential danger involved with extractives environments, particularly while people are becoming familiar with the hazards associated with their role.

Core Elective 1 provides opportunities for employers and candidates to select standards from anywhere on the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS), whilst core elective 2 recognises skills and knowledge related to communication.

The strands recognise skills and knowledge required for the context in which the holder of the certificate works or intends to work.
