Stuck Between the Gate and a Great Paycheck?
You’ve seen the job ads, six-figure mining roles, entry-level haul truck operators needed, work just outside Brisbane. But there’s a catch. Without one specific certification, you’re invisible to recruiters and contractors: the Standard 11. This isn’t just a formality. In Queensland, no S11 means no access to coal mine sites. It’s the baseline that separates mining dreamers from those who walk through the gate, high-vis ready.
The good news? You can get it done in one day, just outside Brisbane, with My Solution Training, and it could be the single most important step you take towards a mining career.
What the Standard 11 covers and why it’s non-negotiable for QLD mines
The Standard 11 is more than just a piece of paper, it’s the Queensland mining industry’s gatekeeper. This nationally recognised induction program includes six core safety units, all designed to ensure you can step onto a site and work safely, effectively and confidently.
- It’s mandatory by law: particularly on Queensland coal mine sites, but also widely expected across the broader mining industry. If you don’t have it, you won’t be allowed on site.
- Employers demand it: From the Bowen Basin to Ipswich, contractors won’t consider you without a current Standard 11. They want proof that you understand hazards, risks, and mine site behaviour.
- It’s nationally recognised: Our training at My Solution Training is issued under Infront Training (RTO 31137), giving you a Statement of Attainment accepted across Australia.
What You’ll Actually Learn, And Why It Matters on Site
Real safety, real risks, how this course prepares you to stay alive and employed
Mining is one of the most dangerous sectors in the country. That’s why this course exists, to keep people safe and give employers confidence you won’t freeze in a high-stakes moment.
Here’s what the Standard 11 teaches:
- How to identify hazards and respond to emergencies: You’ll walk away knowing how to handle fire, equipment incidents, and unexpected site risks. That’s not theory, that’s survival.
- Correct use of PPE and communication systems: From radio calls to field protocols, you’ll learn how to operate like a crew member, not a rookie.
- Site-ready scenario training: The course uses real examples and mining-specific simulations to give you a feel for how safety culture works in the field.
This isn’t just about passing a test. It’s about building site fitness , mental and procedural , that could make the difference in a life-threatening moment.
