Briefing sessions are conducted by examination panel members for each certificate of competence to inform applicants of how to apply and prepare themselves for the written and oral examinations. Briefing sessions are free and optional but are highly recommended as applicants have the opportunity to obtain relevant information from the examiners on the exams.

You must register your interest in attending a session at least one month before the briefing date so we can confirm we have sufficient numbers and venue.

Briefing sessions will be held face-to-face at selected venues. Sessions will now be recorded and published on our website sometime after. We cannot guarantee the quality of the recording. If you can't attend the face-to-face session and would like to attend the session online, or you have any queries, please contact the Mining Competence team at 1300 814 609 (option 2 > option 3) or mca@regional.nsw.gov.au
