Every mine has its own characteristics as well as peculiarities, and as such, requires specific specialized training programs in addition to the common core modules and the safety training certifications. These specialized courses, while similar in description and composition, apply to specific aspects of particular mines, and therefore have particular reference to the successful and safe operation of the mine. Generally, such courses have application overall to the mining industry, and thus their value cannot be overemphasized.
Corona College has developed a comprehensive underground miner training program that is based on researched models from the industry, combined with the college's extensive experience in the delivery of safety training courses. The demand for qualified miners in Newfoundland and Labrador within the near future is very high, and therefore successful completion of the hard rock miner-training program will be a tremendous asset to all who seek to obtain a rewarding career in the mining industry. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
