Candidate Workshop Kurri Kurri 19 & 20 May 2023

BOSSI will be hosting the Annual Candidate Workshop at the Kurri Kurri TAFE Campus on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 May. This year’s event includes presentations covering the examination requirements and competencies, with separate streams for land and mining candidates.

This event is a great opportunity for candidates to hear from a range of industry professionals, including those who have recently been through the registration process, and to network with other candidates.

Presenters and invited guests will lead sessions with candidates and their mentors on Friday afternoon and on Saturday morning candidates will have the opportunity to review and discuss past projects. BOSSI highly recommends that all candidates and mentors attend the event prior to undertaking their first BOSSI examination.
