Thiess required

Thiess required AS3000 refresher training together with further training on Generators (AS3010) and the above ground mining standard, AS3007.

Electrical Training Australia Provided

Using our proprietary RAMP method, we delivered our customised training package of 18 hours training per person, to the Engineers, electricians and apprentices that work across the three Hunter Valley mines, Mt Owen, Mt Arthur and Mt Pleasant.
We integrated our AS3000 in depth specialist refresher training with Amendment 1, the new AS3010 Generators standard and the IT Earthing system described in AS3007, the above ground mining standard, providing the Thiess workers with this cutting edge training within 4 weeks of Amendment 1 and the new Generators standard becoming mandatory in late January 2020.

The best thing about this training was the group discussion and the knowledge of the facilitator.
