Start here. Understand how a mine actually makes money — before you spend a dollar on training.

If you're new to mining, or you've landed on a site and realised everyone's speaking a language you were never taught, this free course gives you the mental model the job assumes you already have. In about 4 hours you'll understand how an open pit mine is laid out, what every piece of equipment is doing in the production cycle. And, most importantly, why fleet productivity is the lever that decides whether a mine is profitable or bleeding cash.

You'll walk away able to: describe how a mine site is organised, identify the main equipment types and their roles, explain why productivity is the primary cost lever, and step into Course 1 with the right foundation already in place.
