National Certificate in Drilling - Non-hydrocarbon (Driller) (Level 3) with optional strands in Environmental/Geotechnical, and Water Well
Level
/ 3Credits
/ 90Purpose
The National Certificate in Drilling - Non-hydrocarbon (Driller) (Level 3) with optional strands in Environmental/Geotechnical, and Water Well, recognises the skills of an experienced driller. The holder of this qualification is able to perform tasks involving a broad range of skilled applications in a wide variety of contexts, which may involve some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures.
A core component of essential skills related to setting up and preparing for drilling; on site operations; operational maintenance; and carrying out informal on the job training in a non-hydrocarbon drilling environmentis included in this qualification. A small core elective that recognises a variety of skill sets is required due to the diversity of drilling environments.
Core elective 2 offers a range of standards relating to health and safety, using truck loader cranes, and driving. Core elective 3 offers a range of standards that relate to drilling methods for the different activities undertaken in the drilling industry to the skill level of a driller.
There are two optional strands in this qualification representing skills required to work in a specified industry sector. The strands are Environmental/Geotechnical, and Water Well.
This qualification includes Australian competency standards that are part of the DRT03 Drilling Training Package – Certificate 111 in Drilling. These standards have been endorsed by the New Zealand Extractive Industries Training Organisation.
This qualification is part of a pathway, which begins with the National Certificate in
Drilling - Non-hydrocarbon (Level 2) with an optional strand in Blast Hole/Mineral Production and Development [Ref:1331], and continues with the National Certificate in Drilling - Nonhydrocarbon (Senior Driller) (Level 4) with an optional strand in Water Well [Ref: 1333], culminating in the National Diploma in Drilling - Non-hydrocarbon (Driller Supervisor) (Level 5) [Ref:1334].
Special Notes
Prerequisite: National Certificate in Drilling - Non-hydrocarbon (Driller’s Assistant) (Level 2) [Ref: 1331],or demonstrate equivalent skills and knowledge.
