What’s new about this Training Package?

This Training Package is the result of the rationalisation and consolidation of the previous six SkillsDMC Training Packages:

  • MNC04 Coal Mining Training Package
  • MNM05 Metalliferous Mining Training Package
  • MNQ03 Extractive Industries Training Package
  • DRT03 Drilling Training Package
  • BCC03 Civil Construction Training Package
  • RII06 Civil Construction Training Package

The new RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package includes 739 RII units of competency and 194 imported units of competency – this is a reduction from approximately 1200 units included in the previous six Training Packages, mainly as a result of reducing duplication. The new package includes 64 qualifications (reduced from 106), and 7 Skill Sets (an increase from 3).

It also includes:

  • the Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure Work Preparation – a qualification for new entrants to the industry, across a number of sectors.
  • new unit format
  • new unit coding
  • new units and qualifications
