ABOUT COURSE
This is the classroom portion of the MSHA Part 48A – Underground New Miner Class. This class is the 32-hour classroom portion for new Underground Miners. You will still need to complete the mine tour and last day at the mine site. If you have questions about the class or which class you need to take please let us know via text or email. You only need this class if you are going underground. You can take 48B if you will only be at surface areas of underground mines. All classes cover the coal endorsement. You may start any day of the week and do not need to attend consecutive days. If you need to break it up just let us know.
MSHA requires that each participant must show their face on camera for the duration of the class and have a working microphone in order to fully participate. This is a live class taught by an MSHA blue card holder. It lasts for 8 hours each day. We will issue you a 5000-23 the last day of the class. You will still need to complete the mine tour at the mine site. If you have questions about the class or which class you need please let us know. While you may participate via any electronic device that has a camera and microphone we recommend using a large tablet or computer. We realize that not everyone has this option so if you are using your phone please put it on do not disturb for the meeting or it will kick you out when you receive a phone call. If you are unsure of which class you need to take just call us and we will help you figure it out.
