Surface Standard 11 refresher - 100% online
Get your standard 11 refreshed online. No travel & no waiting around for certification
Already hold your Standard 11 and need to renew it? Our online Surface Refresher keeps your qualification current so you can stay on site.
The refresher updates your knowledge of mine safety protocols, risk management, hazard identification, emergency response and site safety procedures, in line with current Queensland coal mining requirements.
New to mining? You'll need the full Standard 11 Surface course instead.
Under Section 84(1) of the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2017, every coal mine worker must complete Standard 11 refresher training at least once every five years. If your Statement of Attainment is due for renewal, you'll need a refresher to keep working on site.
Core Crew Training (RTO 45671) delivers the Standard 11 Surface refresher 100% online. Work through the course at your own pace, finish with a short video session with one of our trainers, and receive your updated Statement of Attainment the same day.
The refresher is $400, with Afterpay and Klarna available. New to mining? You'll need the full Standard 11 Surface course ($600) instead.
about this course
Who is the Surface Standard 11 refresher for?
Experienced surface mine workers whose Standard 11 is approaching its five-year renewal or has recently lapsed.
FIFO and DIDO workers who want to renew between rosters rather than give up days off for a classroom course.
Workers returning to mining after a break who still hold a Standard 11 Statement of Attainment within the eligible timeframe.
Employers and site operators keeping crews compliant without pulling workers off site for training days.

Your refresher covers the same six nationally recognised units as the full Standard 11 Surface:
✓ RIICOM201E – Communicate in the workplace
✓ RIIERR302E – Respond to local emergencies and incidents
✓ RIIERR205D – Apply initial response first aid
✓ RIIGOV201E – Comply with site work processes and procedures
✓ RIIRIS201E – Conduct local risk control

✅ A current or recently expired Standard 11 Surface Statement of Attainment listing all six competencies above
✅ A recent supervisor (someone who has directly supervised your work on site) who can complete and sign a third-party verification report
✅ Must be 18 or older
✅ A reliable internet connection and a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Apply free at usi.gov.au if you don't have one
Before you enrol: check with your supervisor that they're available to complete the verification report. It's the most common thing that holds up a refresher, so sorting it early means you can finish faster.
