Check the details
All university courses in this program are offered in distance (external) mode. Students of this program will be required to attend the CQUniversity Rockhampton campus for compulsory residential schools in some courses.

Entry Requirements
Students enrolled in this program should be working in the coal industry and must enrol in the specialisation they are currently working in i.e. either surface or underground operations. Undertaking the requisite RII competencies at AQF levels 5 & 6 is the student's responsibility. CQU can provide students with the contact details of Registered Training Providers that undertake RII competency training at AQF levels 5 & 6.
Upon completion of the RII competencies, documentary evidence must be submitted to the CQUniversity Program Advisor for credit towards completing this program.

Articulation and credit transfer
The program allows the recognition of students' appropriate previous study and experience gained from working in industry, through 'Recognition of Prior Learning' (RPL) and 'Recognition of Current Competencies' (RCC). Students will be assessed for exemption on a case-by-case basis and will be required to nominate courses they wish to be considered for exemption from. Grounds for that exemption, through their demonstration of prior achievement of a significant component of the CQUniversity courses learning outcomes, must be documented. Students may only gain credit transfer for up to 50% of the overall program, on a units of credit basis.
Rules for progression in the program
