About Lennon Training
Lennon Training is a family-owned business established in 1991 to service the training requirements of the mining industry. With Training Centres in Emerald, Moranbah, and Brisbane, Lennon Training has been the lead training contractor in many mine start-ups and continues to deliver industry-leading training services across the region.
Leading the Way
Lennon Training has provided training services for several mine start-ups and ongoing operations, making them a leading training contractor.
Among the mines they have worked with are Rio Tinto's Hail Creek mine, Clermont Mine, Kestrel Mine Expansion project and Kestrel mine, BMA’s Gregory Crinum and Broadmeadow mines, and Glencore Rolleston.
Training the Industry since 1991
Throughout the years, Kerry, Lexia, John, and Donna have garnered a reputation for providing top-notch safety training to the region, thanks to the unwavering support of an Administration Team.
This team has been instrumental in providing consistent information to the facilitators, who, in turn, possess credible mining industry experience and are adept at communicating these values to mineworkers across various roles in the region

Our Training Facilities
Early days
Established 1991
Lennon Training commenced full time training in July 1991 following five years of running classes afterhours for Deputies, Open Cut Examiners and Underground managers.
Emerald
Established 2006
With Industry increasingly developing their training function to be a key part of site compliance for safety and onboarding, the Lennon Family invested in a custom built training centre, the first of three that would support the ebb and flow of their clients for the years to come.
​
The campus provided Lennon's with space to build the unique training mine roadway gallery that would enhance the learning specifically for underground mineworkers and their safety behaviour for self-escape.
Moranbah
Established 2011
To further support training services on the ground for key clients, a replica of the successful training mine roadway gallery was built and continues today as being a reliable venue for mineworkers to be trained and assessed with their self-escape techniques.
Brisbane
Established 2013
In 2013 we established a co-provider agreement with Queensland TAFE Skill Tech (the technical/trades arm of Queensland TAFE) headquartered at Southbank, Brisbane.
We established our signature underground training gallery on the Eagle Farm campus and are the TAFE Queensland international mining training division.
The gallery on the Eagle Farm campus not only serves as a unique training facility but also as a show piece for the numerous mining delegations that visit Brisbane on study missions.
