National Diploma in Extractive Industries (Site Management) (Level 5)
with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction
Level
5
Credits
154 or 229 depending on strand
Purpose
The National Diploma in Extractive Industries (Site Management) (Level 5) with strands in
Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction [Ref: 1524] is designed for managers who
are situated on site at a surface or underground extraction site or for graduates with a
tertiary qualification who are working in the extractives industry.
The core compulsory section recognises skills and knowledge in regulatory requirements;
human resource management; legislation; quality assurance; planning; accounting; and
tendering, negotiating, and managing a contract.
The strands enable the holder to demonstrate specific skills and knowledge required to
manage a surface or underground extraction site.
This qualification is part of a pathway that begins with the National Certificate in Extractive
Industries (Introductory Skills) with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground
Extraction [Ref: 0247], the National Certificate in Extractive Industries (Operations) with
strands in Coal Plant, Drilling Surface, Drilling Underground, Maintenance Operations,
Metalliferous Processing, Mobile Plant Surface, Processing Plant, Surface Extraction,
Underground Extraction, and Water Treatment [Ref: 1521], the National Certificate in
Extractive Industries (Supervision) (Level 4) with strands in Surface Extraction, and
Underground Extraction [Ref: 0249], the National Certificate in Extractive Industries
(Supervision) (Level 5) with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction
[Ref: 1523] and culminates in the National Diploma in Extractive Industries (Management)
with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction [Ref: 0806]. This
qualification can be completed at any stage within this pathway to meet individual and
company needs (noting that the National Certificate in Extractive Industries (Introductory
Skills) (Level 2) with strands in Surface Extraction, and Underground Extraction
[Ref: 0247] is a prerequisite for award of this qualification).
Special Notes
Prior learning may be recognised at both standard and qualification level either by an
accredited organisation or the NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Incorporated).
Surface Extraction includes quarries, open cast coal and gold mines, lime mills, alluvial
gold extraction, iron sands, and industrial minerals.
Underground Extraction includes metalliferous and coal underground mines and tunnels.
