Mining Training

A production miner/blaster or mineral processing plant operator supervises the crew, machines and equipment involved in the operation of mining or processing of coal. Just as coal is vital to the future of our country, production miners/blasters and processing plant operators are vital to the future of our coal mining industry. The industry requires these skilled and competent people that are all trained at CTC.

The production miner/blaster or mineral processing plant operators are in charge of underground, opencast, or plant production and are responsible for the health and safety of the employees that are supervised, and for the attainment of set production targets.

Coal mining today is highly mechanised and the production miners/blasters and process operators are responsible for the efficient operation of sophisticated mining machinery.
