"I strongly believe if I had not completed the course, I would not have been given this great opportunity to work for Pilbara Iron, a member of Rio Tinto group.

The knowledge and skills obtained on the course assisted me greatly in the initial training period in the actual working pit of Yandicoogina. It provided me with a basic level of understanding of pit operations and assisted my confidence level in the operation of these large machines. I am enjoying the work and the camp lifestyle at Yandicoogina immensely."

Testimonials

Alan Doherty, a recent student (Sep 2008) now working for a leading mining company up north, was a self-employed concreter looking for a career change. He contacted Immersive Operator Training after speaking with a friend who had previously trained with the group.

“I was looking for a fresh start and a new challenge so I got in touch with the guys at Immersive Operator Training and decided to do the haul truck, front end loader, and excavator courses.”

Since making the career change, Alan says that working in the mining industry offers “a great lifestyle, and is a great way to save some money and get ahead financially. There’s no way I’d go back to being a concreter.”
