“After completing the Statutory Supervisors course and Statutory Mining course, I had all the knowledge required to confidently undertake the DEMIRS Legislative Exam.

Future Institute was very professional in arranging my training, the facilitator was excellent, and the course was interesting and engaging with assessments commenced within the course.

If you haven’t undertaken your training to comply with Schedule 26 yet, I can highly recommend the team at Future Institute of Australia.”

Training is delivered face-to-face at our Victoria Park training centre. The assessment component is submitted online after the workshop. You will begin this during the face-to-face session.
