Training Courses Available MVA, in conjunction with TAFE Queensland (TQ Mining Services, a division of the Queensland Government Department of Employment and Training) offers a full range of mine ventilation training courses, all available in nationally accredited, fully portable versions. These courses are suitable for Australian and international students, irrespective of residency. Courses can also be run in other locations or at other times by prior arrangement. Contact MVA for further details. All MVA courses include comprehensive software analysis programs, comprehensive course notes and a comprehensive resource CD. These courses provide all students with the "state of the art" in mine ventilation training and competency in Australia. MVA course materials including course notes are updated at least annually to ensure they are up-to-date with industry developments and trends. The principal course for metalliferous ventilation officers and engineers is MNMMSM631A. Refer to Table 1 below. The principal course for coal mine ventilation officers and engineers is MNCU1109A (which automatically includes MNCU1102A, MNCU1106A, MNCU1111A, MNCU1121A). Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 below. The Advanced Diploma in Mine Ventilation covers all metalliferous and coal ventilation competencies. See Table 2 below. Unlike other mine ventilation courses, students are allowed to repeat any MVA workshop FREE OF CHARGE (apart from a fee to cover the cost of a new workbook and meals). This is especially helpful for students who don't already have an engineering degree as it allows them return to their mine site and practice their skills and review course materials and then return for a much improved understanding on their repeat workshop. Completion of these courses will also meet some of the requirements for the Queensland First Class Mine Manager's Certificates of Competency (Coal or Metalliferous). For full details of these requirements, refer to: http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/mines/inspectorate/board_examiners.html A 5% discount is offered to non-TAFE students who register and pay for attendance for the 5-day course in one week and all the short courses in one week (can be separate weeks). Contact MVA for details. Table 1
*All fees are $A. GST is not payable for Australian students enrolling through TAFE. Fees in brackets are for the non-accredited version. GST is payable for the non-accredited version.

Check for current details before enrolment. Courses can be cancelled if there are insufficient registrations. A "block release" program is also available in February to April each year. The block release is 4 weeks for metalliferous students and 8 weeks for coal students. Both programs start at the same time. The block release is held at TAFE Mackay, Qld. Students who complete the metalliferous block release will obtain the MNMMSM631A and those who complete the coal block release will obtain the MNCU1109 (with its associated additional competencies). Contact TQ or MVA for further details. These courses are also integrated seamlessly into the higher level AQF qualifications MNC60204 Advanced Diploma of Underground Coal Mining Management and MNM60104 Advanced Diploma of Metalliferous Mining (Underground), which can also be undertaken through TQMS, and into statutory qualifications such as the First Class Mine Manager’s Certificate of Competency and the Coal Ventilation Officer or Metalliferous Ventilation Officer (which vary from State to State). These ventilation courses can also be undertaken along with or in fulfilment of two nationally recognised qualifications within the AQF with a reduction in cost by payment of an up-front fee. Table 2
