Mining Skills Australia’s Drill & Blast training resource delivery can be provided in-person, on-site or remotely using a blended approach including XR (Animation, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality) as these innovative technologies offer unique characteristics for product and equipment familiarisation.
This qualification reflects the role of employees such as production operators in an open cut mine or quarry, who perform tasks involving a broad range of skilled applications in a varied work context, using some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures for drill and blast activities.
