Miner Training Course Library

The federal government’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) requires mandatory training of surface miners. Our twenty-seven-course Surface Miner Training curriculum is designed to help mine owners and operators meet the MSHA training requirements. The information provided in the courses is based on the insights and knowledge of experienced miners, extensive industry research, and MSHA best practices, and can be used in conjunction with supervised, on-site training as part of an approved training plan.

Mine owners and operators can use Surface Miner Training courses to help provide the following training mandated under Title 30 CFR Part 46:

  • New Miner Training (CFR 30 Part 46.5)
  • Newly Hired Experienced Miner Training (CFR 30 Part 46.6)
  • New Task Training (CFR 30 Part 46.7)
  • Annual Refresher Training (CFR 30 Part 46.8)

Media-Rich Training Materials

All Surface Miner Training courses include media-rich content that incorporates 3-D animations, still images, charts and graphs, audio, and text. Interactive elements capture and hold the learner’s interest and stimulate true understanding. The courses are self-paced to match adult learning styles and include non-scored progress report questions that increase learning retention and scored questions that assess the learner’s comprehension of the materials.
