The maintenance of competence scheme is a requirement to keep the knowledge and skills up-to-date of individuals who hold a practising certificate to exercise specific statutory functions in the mining industry.
If you hold a practising certificate you will need to undertake specified hours of recognised learning for areas of competence over the five year validity period of your certificate.
The maintenance of competence scheme applies to all practising certificates issued by the Resources Regulator.
The maintenance of competence scheme sets out the learning you have to undertake in certain areas of competence, the types of recognised learning and the number of hours of learning. Learning requirements such as the required number of hours vary between the types of practising certificates. There are also strict rules on claimable hours.
The scheme requires you to complete learning in the following five areas of competence:
- Mining and WHS systems
- Legislation
- Emergency management
- Leadership and management
- General WHS topics
