What Are Statutory Mining Courses?
Statutory mining courses are qualifications required by law to hold specific management and supervisory positions in Queensland underground coal mines. They are not optional upskilling. Certain roles cannot be filled without them.
We offer two statutory mining courses. The Diploma of Underground Coal Mining Management (RII50920) and the Certificate IV in Underground Coal Operations (RII40420). Each targets a different level of statutory role within underground coal operations. The right qualification depends on the role you are working toward.
Both qualifications are nationally recognised and meet the requirements set out under Queensland mining legislation. They are delivered by industry-experienced trainers with real underground coal backgrounds.
Who Needs It?
Statutory qualifications are legally required for anyone holding a statutory position in a Queensland underground coal mine.
- Underground coal mine workers looking to move into a deputy or undermanager role
- Workers who hold a statutory position and need to formalise or upgrade their qualification
- Experienced mine workers progressing toward mine management responsibilities
- Workers whose statutory certificate has lapsed and need to renew to remain eligible for their role
- Mining professionals seeking the highest level of underground coal management qualification
If you hold or are pursuing a statutory role in a Queensland underground coal mine, one of these qualifications is a legal requirement.

Have Questions? We're here to Help
Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about our mining courses.What is a statutory mining course?
A statutory mining course is a legally required qualification for holding certain management and supervisory positions in Queensland underground coal mines. Without the relevant statutory qualification, workers cannot legally fill these roles. We deliver two statutory qualifications: the Diploma of Underground Coal Mining Management (RII50920) and the Certificate IV in Underground Coal Operations (RII40420).
What is the difference between the Diploma and the Certificate IV in Underground Coal Operations?
The two qualifications target different levels of statutory responsibility. The Certificate IV in Underground Coal Operations (RII40420) is aimed at workers moving into deputy-level roles. The Diploma of Underground Coal Mining Management (RII50920) is for workers progressing into undermanager and higher management positions. Contact the Lennon team if you are unsure which qualification applies to your role.
