*Eligible candidates for funded places should be:

TAFE Queensland will issue participants in Resources 101 with a Statement of Attainment on successful completion of the 11 units.  To obtain a Statement of Attainment, participants undertaking Resource 101 will be required to  identify that they have a minimum standard of knowledge and skill (relating to the resource industry) in order to be assessed as competent.

This will be achieved by:

Participants undertaking classroom learning activities and associated assessment and a mine site visit or equivalent activity which will provide the participant with the necessary resource industry exposure and work activities that have been created to simulate those undertaken in the mining industry.

or
Participants undertaking a Recognition of Prior Learning process which will identify previous resource industry experience.

or
Participants undertake competency validation once they have commenced working on a mine site. If participants do not complete competency requirements while undertaking the five week Resources 101 program, TAFE Queensland will provide a provisional result which will outline what assessment activities are still required once work is commenced in the resource industry.

In these cases TAFE Queensland will issue a Statement of Attainment when relevant documents have been received. Participants completing the program in this format should note that all competency requirements must be completed before 14 December 2012.
