Industry Overview
The mining industry is a vital part of Australia’s economy, providing the resources that fuel our communities and industries. From coal and
minerals to metals and energy, mining projects rely on skilled workers and safe operations to keep production moving. With opportunities
across regional and remote areas, mining offers rewarding careers for those with the right qualifications.
At All States Training, we deliver nationally recognised training to prepare you for plant operations in mining environments. Our courses are designed to help you work safely, meet industry standards, and gain the skills employers are looking for on site.
(All States Training delivers this training on site using your machines, as we do not have our own.)
All States Training collaborates with third-party partners who may deliver these courses on our behalf. Please contact our office, and we
will direct you to the appropriate person who can assist with your enquiry.
