About Us

Safety first. Every program aligns with QLD mining law and site procedures, and we bring Learning from Disasters insights into each session. Our trainers have underground and open cut time, and our underground roadway galleries let people practise self-escape and decision-making.
We show up prepared, assess consistently, and communicate clearly. Whether you’re new or refreshing, we keep training simple and compliant. Popular options include Coal Mining Induction (Standard 11), S123 Supervisor Training, G2 Risk Management, and Undermanager training.

34+ Years of our journey
1991 — Full-time training begins
Lennon Training commenced full time training in July 1991 following five years of running classes afterhours for Deputies, Open Cut Examiners and Underground managers.
2006 — Purpose-built centre
We invest in a dedicated centre and build our first underground roadway gallery focused on self-escape.
2011 — Regional expansion
To further support training services on the ground for key clients, a replica of the successful training mine roadway gallery was built and continues today as being a reliable venue for mineworkers to be trained and assessed with their self-escape techniques.
2013-TAFE Queensland partnership
In 2013 we established a co-provider agreement with Queensland TAFE Skill Tech (the technical/trades arm of Queensland TAFE) headquartered at Southbank, Brisbane.We established our signature underground training gallery on the Eagle Farm campus and are the TAFE Queensland international mining training division.The gallery on the Eagle Farm campus not only serves as a unique training facility but also as a show piece for the numerous mining delegations that visit Brisbane on study missions.2013-Present: Continued Training
Lennon Training continues to be a primary provider of Mining Courses in Queensland, serving Brisbane, Emerald and Moranbah.
Industry papers and conference talks
John has presented twice at the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference.
The first talk looked at the worsening shortage of Deputies and Open Cut Examiners in Queensland coal, and five things the industry can do about it. You can read the full paper here, or watch the talk on the conference site.
The second talk asked why anyone would want to step up to supervisor, and what puts people off making the move. You can watch it on the conference site.
Both sit behind the statutory studies we run, including Deputy, Undermanager, OCE and ERZ Controller training.


Recognising Experience & Clients
With more than three decades in QLD mining, we’ve been the lead training contractor on mine start-ups and ongoing operations. Our training centres in Emerald, Moranbah and Brisbane (on the TAFE Queensland SkillTech campus at Eagle Farm) give partners a consistent footprint, and we deliver programs on- or off-site to suit rosters and shutdowns.
Through our partnership with TAFE Queensland SkillTech, we co-deliver specialist programs and access facilities designed to simulate real working environments—helping crews practise safely before site deployment. As an RTO (1674) established in 1991, we maintain long-standing VET compliance and can schedule recurring intakes across locations to keep workforce skills current. As Queensland’s mining training specialists, consistency and compliance are built in.
