OCE Examination Mentoring
Do you have staff members who are undertaking the NSW Open Cut Examiners (OCE) written or oral examinations?
Forsythes Training is partnering with Singleton based company Core Mine to offer expert mentoring to help participants to pass the challenging OCE examinations with flying colours.
How OCE exam mentoring can help?
The OCE exams are difficult and have high failure rates. It costs time and money to re-sit examinations.
Many people doing the exams have not studied for these types of exams for some time or at all. They are not used to doing, closed book, written exams in short time periods nor doing oral exams. Our mentor will assess a participant’s abilities and needs and customise mentoring accordingly.
An OCE is responsible for ensuring a safe work environment by applying the safety and health management system in and around work areas of surface excavation, including monitoring the quantity and quality of output, supervising others, and applying solutions to non-routine problems.
Core Mine founder and director, Kim Nguyen, has 25 years’ experience in the mining sector. Kim had varied operational roles across NSW mines and mining companies before moving management roles. He spent nine years in the Coal Competence Unit, writing and marking exams, as well as assessing candidates in their oral exams.
“We unpack the key details of open cut operations to prepare mentees for their role as well as their exam.” Kim said.
“Instead of going through year after year of previous exams, we cover the theory behind each topic. Then, we create real-world scenarios for you to apply the newly learned skills.”
Examinations mentoring program includes:
- Eight weeks of face to face delivery
- A study pack
- 24/7 access to online resources that help stimulate effective study
- Quizzes and prompts to further understand key topics
- Direct access to qualified trainers

Group mentoring sessions are available and are cost-effective. It also benefits participants – they learn from the mentor and from each other. For more information on mentoring for the Open Cut Examiner (OCE) exams please contact Core Mine.
