Inclusions
These RIIUND309D training resources help your RTO deliver practical training on preparing underground headings, drilling to a ground support design and installing reinforcements, with editable documents that support planning, assessment and record keeping.
The RIIUND309D learning materials address site inspection, scaling and misfire checks, auxiliary service connections, drill alignment, reinforcement installation and shift handover, giving trainers a clear structure to adapt for each site.
These RIIUND309D RTO materials help assessors collect clear evidence of mechanical ground support drilling and installation completed on more than one occasion.
Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of RIIUND309D Conduct mechanical underground ground support drilling and installation by helping learners interpret drilling and installation documentation, assess site conditions for scaling and misfires, and review historical information before drilling. Trainers and assessors can use them to structure activities around connecting auxiliary services, aligning equipment to the drill pattern, erecting boundaries, stabilising drill equipment and installing reinforcements.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
Not sure where to start with validation? Refer to the current release of RIIUND309D on training.gov.au before delivery.
Unit Info
This unit covers conducting mechanical underground ground support drilling and installation in metalliferous mining for people in operational roles. Learners plan and prepare for the task, set up the site and drill holes to the ground support design, then position equipment and install reinforcements before shutting down and handing over.
To deliver this unit in line with the Standards for RTOs and meet ASQA expectations, your RIIUND309D resources need to address:
Understanding the structure of RIIUND309D helps RTOs plan practical assessment around real headings and the ground support systems used on each site. Well-organised learning materials also support consistent delivery across rosters and crews.
FAQs
You receive digital files that can be downloaded soon after purchase. The editable documents can then be updated with your client’s ground control procedures.
The package contains a learner guide, presentation, session plan, classroom activities and self-study guide, plus an assessment pack, marking guide, mapping and record tools. Together they cover site preparation, drilling and reinforcement installation.
Yes, the files can be edited to reflect the bolts, mesh and drill rigs used at each site. This keeps learner practice relevant to the reinforcement methods they will apply underground.
A one-time licence lets your RTO use the resources with unlimited students. Sharing or reselling the files outside your organisation is not permitted.
The included mapping shows where each requirement is addressed, which supports validation and audit preparation. Updates may be released when the unit or resources change.
Publisher
An established Australian VET resource publisher, this organisation creates training and assessment resources for RTOs across resources, infrastructure and construction industries. Its underground mining resources focus on safe work sequences and clearly structured evidence collection.
Compliant Learning Resources works with a network of trusted training resource publishers to give RTOs access to broader product options. This gives your RTO more choice when sourcing resources for mechanised underground mining units.
