About Underground Training
Why Underground Training Exists
Underground Training was founded to tackle a long-standing challenge in the Hardrock Underground Mining Industry: the high turnover of inexperienced workers. Our mission is to equip new starters with the essential knowledge and practical understanding of how both the mine and the industry operate—giving you a 6 to 8 week head start over the average jobseeker.
By building a strong foundation before you even apply, you’ll gain the confidence to answer mining interview questions effectively and demonstrate real value to potential employers. When you understand how an underground mine functions, you’re not just applying for a job—you’re offering the crew something they can use on day one.
The Opportunity in Front of You
Mining is a diverse, globally significant industry—and even more so here in Australia. It offers unmatched career opportunities and a lifestyle to suit. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Hardrock underground sector, where top-tier roles like jumbo operator can earn between $2,000 and $3,000 per day.
So what do we mean by Hardrock? We’re talking about commodities like gold, lithium, nickel, uranium, copper, and rare earths—just about everything except coal. Right now, Australia is experiencing a surge in Gold, with prices exceeding $5,000 an ounce in AUD. That’s where many of the entry-level opportunities are being created.
How to Get Ahead
Our online training packages are designed to fast-track your mining knowledge and give you the competitive edge you need. Whether you’re new to the game or starting fresh, you’ll get the insights, terminology, and understanding to position yourself as a serious candidate.
Check out the video to see how one of our students landed a mining job using the DIY package—and how you can, too.
EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Adrian2025-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Literally couldn’t have got a start without Andrew and his team. He also saved me a fortune on tickets that would have made no difference. I couldn’t speak more highly of the process.

Trying to get a FIFO jobs in Perth for whole months but no luck. Then I move Kalgoorlie and got a job offer after job hunting in one week as a Underground Driller Offsider. I purchased the DIY Course and studied through the course and use my experience on my interview. I knows It is going to be tough job but everything will be hard at the beginning. Thank you Andrew! Josh Twee2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly Recommended - Worth Every Penny! I recently purchased the full course, including the Work-Ready package, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny, especially if you have no prior experience in the mining industry. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable, and it’s evident in the thorough detail of the courses. If you're looking for a no-fluff approach and genuine help, this is the right course for you. I had the opportunity to speak with him on the phone, and he was both understanding and an excellent teacher. If you’re looking to get your start in the mines, I would definitely recommend going through Underground Training. Update. I have been successful and everything the course gave me was in the actual interview. Would definitely recommend. Rads2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Though it's taken me a long time I finally got myself a job thanks to this course I cannot thank underground training and Andrew Enough. Would highly recommend Daniel Breckner2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best underground training / mining career consultant in the country. I did the work ready package around 6 months ago and secured my first entry level job in less then 24h thanks to Andy and his professional advise! It becomes very apparent very quickly that the underground training team is very passionate about what they do with proper advise on ANYTHING on the subject. As I am finishing my first 6 months of my first job Andy sparred no efforts to find time over a phone call and continues to give advise which benefits my career and life greatly. Thanks for everything you are doing, I’m sure many many more people will benefit from your services as much as I do and did 🙂 Jeeves Bogahawatte2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up for this course & training over 2 years ago as a complete 'greenie' in the industry. Andrew's course helped me immensely to understand the fundamentals and gain confidence in taking on a mining role. 2 months into me completing the course, I landed my first mining role. Andrew was always a phone call away, whenever I had any questions or needing guidance, and even now he's still willing to share his advice. I can't thank him enough and would highly recommend his services if you're looking to get into the mining industry. Stuart Midgley2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the DIY training last year and then applied for four entry level jobs in Western NSW (I was in Sydney at the time). I followed the advice about how to apply and I emailed the employers a week after the initial applications to say I was coming out Western NSW the next week and asking if I could introduce myself to their site managers while I was there. Within 48 hours I had four interviews lined up, and the next week I got in my car and went driving from interview to interview. In my second interview (at Broken Hill), after a short general chit-chat, the project manager pulled out my resume, ran his finger down the front page to where I had listed the Underground Training, and said ‘It’s very good that you’ve done this training’. He then worked a couple of questions into the interview that you would only know if you’d really studied the training, and when I answered them correctly I could see that things were going well. I left the interview, and within the next hour my referees had rung me to tell me that they’d been contacted. An hour after that I got the call offering me the job! The training was essential - I would not have got the job without it and, if by some miracle I had, I would never have survived in it. It was like drinking from a fire hose for the first couple of months even with the benefit of the training - without it I would have been lost. I went back to the training several times in my first few months, just to go over some things that I was having trouble with. It is absolutely worth the money, both to get the job in the first place and to keep the job past the first month or two.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
