The TESA Mine Preparation Program paves the path for new entrants into the mining industry.
Addressing critical skill shortages in the open cut mining industry, this program utilises a combination of classroom and field based learning in partnership with client operations.
Conducted by energetic trainers with many years of mining experience, this 5 week fee based course provides participants with the required knowledge and skills to safely and competently operate a Haul Truck in a Surface Coal Operations environment.
Participants are paid an award wage and covered by relevant insurances whilst undertaking practical experience on a mine site.
Working in close partnership with our Hunter Valley based clients the course includes areas such as legal obligations, workplace hazards, workplace safety, basic fire fighting, first aid, environmental awareness, effective communication and haul truck operation.

With our business entrenched in the mining industry we felt the effects of the Australian skilled labour shortage along with our clients. Identifying critical areas of need we made a decision to establish a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to develop, train and qualify tomorrow’s Black Coal workforce.
Commencing in 2004, we today offer a variety of training services including:
- Apprenticeship and traineeship employment.
- Accredited qualifications and short courses.
- Consultancy.
- Training package design and implementation.
- Skills assessment and needs analysis.
- Third party workplace assessing.
In order to ensure the success of our services we work closely with our NSW and QLD clients to develop high quality, effective vocational education and training programs which provide new starters with competencies relevant to their site. This ensures a structured, audited and practical education.
Our RTO division is registered by relevant NSW and QLD governing bodies, with all courses complying with the requirements of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).
Our apprenticeship and traineeship employment services are not restricted by age or gender, with those interested in commencing a career and those looking to re-enter the workforce encouraged to apply. Throughout the duration of the program trainees learn to safely perform tasks and competently operate mining machinery relevant to the qualification. Assessment involves observation, questioning, checking of relevant documentation and demonstration.
The depth of experience of our Training, Assessing and Consulting team is outstanding, with all staff working their way from the coal face and coupling this experience with tertiary education. To meet legislative requirements, each Assessor holds current Certificate IV in Training and Assessment certification as a minimum.
