Not always. The Standard 11 is a nationally recognised qualification that determines whether you can work on a mine site. Getting it from a reputable provider with good trainer support means you're more likely to understand the material, pass your assessments, and feel confident when you start on site. That said, paying more doesn't automatically mean better training either. A $750 face-to-face course isn't necessarily better than a $600 online one — the same six units of competency are covered either way, and the Statement of Attainment is identical. The sweet spot is a provider that's reasonably priced, includes everything in the fee, is a registered RTO, has experienced trainers, and has good reviews from past students. Price is one factor, but it shouldn't be the only one. Can I use Afterpay or pay in installments? Some providers offer payment plans or buy-now-pay-later options. Core Crew Training offers both Afterpay and Klarna, which lets you split the cost into four interest-free payments. That brings the upfront cost of the full course down to $150 per fortnight, or $100 per fortnight for the refresher. This is worth considering if the upfront cost is a barrier — especially if you're between jobs and investing in your Standard 11 to get into the mining industry. https://www.corecrewtraining.co/blog-1/how-to-get-a-mining-job monthly 0.5 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/5d353c0b-5064-417e-9e27-11fda90cd9c3/Harris+Family+Final.png Blog - How to get a Mining Job with No Experience - What is FIFO and how does it work? FIFO stands for fly-in, fly-out. Most mining jobs in Australia are based at remote mine sites — the Bowen Basin in Queensland, the Pilbara and Goldfields in Western Australia, the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, and various locations across South Australia and the Northern Territory. Rather than living near the mine permanently, FIFO workers fly in from a major city, work their roster on site, and fly home for their break. On site, you'll live in a mining camp or accommodation village. Meals, accommodation, and flights are covered by the employer. A typical roster might be: 2 weeks on, 1 week off (2:1) — the most common roster for entry-level roles Even time (1:1 or 2:2) — two weeks on, two weeks off. Highly sought after 8 days on, 6 days off (8:6) — common for some operators FIFO isn't for everyone. Being away from home for two weeks at a stretch is tough, especially if you've got a young family. But for a lot of people, especially those without commitments tying them to a specific location, it's a lifestyle that works well and pays extremely well. Some mining jobs are DIDO (drive-in, drive-out) if the mine is within driving distance of a regional town. And a smaller number of roles are residential, meaning you live in the nearby town permanently. https://www.corecrewtraining.co/blog-1/can-you-do-standard-11-online monthly 0.5 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/5d353c0b-5064-417e-9e27-11fda90cd9c3/Harris+Family+Final.png Blog - Can you Do Your Standard 11 Online? - How long does the Standard 11 take to complete online? It depends on you. The course is entirely self-paced, so there's no fixed timeframe. Most people complete the full Standard 11 Surface in two to five days. Some get through it faster, some take a bit longer — it depends on how much time you can put in each day and whether you have any prior knowledge of the material. The refresher is shorter since you've already been through the content before. Most people finish it in a few hours to one day. The key advantage of online is that you can fit it around everything else. Do a couple of modules before work, a couple more in the evening, and finish up on the weekend. There's no pressure to sit in a classroom for eight hours straight. What do I need to complete the Standard 11 online? Not much: A computer, laptop, or tablet. The course works best on a larger screen. You can access it on a phone in a pinch, but some of the assessments are easier on a bigger device. A reliable internet connection. You'll be working through online modules, so you need to stay connected. Valid photo ID. A driver's licence or passport for identity verification. A Unique Student Identifier (USI). This is required for all nationally recognised training in Australia. If you don't have one, you can apply for free at usi.gov.au — it takes a few minutes. For the refresher course, you'll also need a supervisor who can complete and sign off on a third-party verification report confirming your ongoing site experience. Make sure you have someone lined up before you enrol. https://www.corecrewtraining.co/blog-1/what-is-a-standard-11 monthly 0.5 2026-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/59e9bc77-bb90-4200-80b2-57b300df5c69/Ads+for+Core+Crew%2C+CCT%2C+XR3%2C+and+Xenco+Services+%281200+x+1200+px%29+%286%29.png Blog - What is a Standard 11 Mining Induction? - Who needs a Standard 11? Pretty much anyone who wants to work on a Queensland mine site: Never worked in mining before? The Standard 11 is your starting point. No prior experience needed — the course is designed for complete beginners. Been out of mining for a while? If your Standard 11 has expired (it lasts five years) or you've been away from the industry, you'll need to do the full course again. Due for a refresher? All mine workers must refresh their Standard 11 at least every five years under Queensland law. Many mine sites want it done every two to three years — check with your employer. Moving from another state? The Standard 11 is a Queensland thing. If you've been working in WA, NSW, or elsewhere, your existing inductions probably won't count here. You'll need to do the Standard 11 before you can start on a QLD site. Contractors and suppliers? If you need to step onto a mine site for any reason — even if you're not a miner — you need a current Standard 11. how long does the standard 11 take? It depends on how you do it: Online (self-paced): Most people finish the full course in two to five days. You can start and stop whenever you want, there's no time pressure. Do it in one sitting or spread it over a week. Core Crew Training currently offers the Surface Standard 11 in this format. Face-to-face (classroom): Usually one full day of classroom and practical training. Blended (mix of online and face-to-face): Theory online at your own pace, then one day of practical training at a training centre. The refresher is shorter since it builds on what you already know. Most people knock it out in a few hours to one day. https://www.corecrewtraining.co/home daily 1.0 2026-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/4b237431-69a3-45ad-8bdb-e3947259051c/imgg-demo-qs29Y0Ih.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f5be000f-883d-4b52-8322-13ce5108db47/imgg-demo-nLRbokBp.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/6d6ce9d6-acc5-4337-84fa-c8c6a18cbbd7/imgg-demo-dr4UJ5bT.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/d0c64311-b23a-4075-a6bb-08ec13a3bc11/imgg-demo-nD6Pzw4T.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/ffa9c5cd-93fa-4346-8251-350f1001b67f/Team+Solutions+Cover+Image+%281%29.png https://www.corecrewtraining.co/why-cct daily 0.75 2026-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/3782900e-ab79-45fd-bae3-c474a03c21a4/Xenco-Daniel-Hoffman_0231-web.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/649c39ed-42c3-4931-806e-c07404885eb5/image.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/5bc144f2-73be-4f98-8a99-50df0ce62aee/Carmel-Guy.png https://www.corecrewtraining.co/contact daily 0.75 2026-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/3782900e-ab79-45fd-bae3-c474a03c21a4/Xenco-Daniel-Hoffman_0231-web.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/649c39ed-42c3-4931-806e-c07404885eb5/image.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/5bc144f2-73be-4f98-8a99-50df0ce62aee/Carmel-Guy.png https://www.corecrewtraining.co/online-courses daily 0.75 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/4b237431-69a3-45ad-8bdb-e3947259051c/imgg-demo-qs29Y0Ih.jpg Online Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f5be000f-883d-4b52-8322-13ce5108db47/imgg-demo-nLRbokBp.jpg Online Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/6d6ce9d6-acc5-4337-84fa-c8c6a18cbbd7/imgg-demo-dr4UJ5bT.jpg Online Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/d0c64311-b23a-4075-a6bb-08ec13a3bc11/imgg-demo-nD6Pzw4T.jpg Online Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69154756313cd167ba942a6b/c549d65d-f241-4845-9d22-1b0e51aa9c45/1765340391585.jpg Online Courses Group of five men standing around a table with various equipment, including a Makita tool, in a workshop setting.
