MSHA training for Reno, Lake Tahoe, and northern Nevada
Part 48 metal training for Nevada gold operations plus Part 46 aggregate training for pits and plants around Reno and the Tahoe basin.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
Northern Nevada is one of the largest gold districts in the world, and the aggregate pits around Reno and the Tahoe basin keep the region building. Those are two different training programs — Part 48 for the metal mines, Part 46 for the pits — and we run both, so one vendor covers every crew.
Nevada gold operations — open pit and underground mines, heap leach pads, and mills — are Part 48 metal and nonmetal work: 24 hours for a new miner, 8 hours for an experienced miner, and an 8-hour annual refresher for everyone. Sand, gravel, and crushed stone pits serving Reno, Sparks, and the Tahoe basin are Part 46 operations with the same hour structure under that part.
We come to you
Every service on this page travels. We teach classes in your shop, trailer, or pit parking lot in Reno & Lake Tahoe, write plans from your own records, and perform evaluations on your equipment. Travel is quoted up front, with no per-mile surprise on the invoice.
Live instructor-led, never computer-based
When you train online, an MSHA instructor teaches the class live on camera in real time. There are no self-paced modules, recorded videos, or slideshow quizzes, and miners can ask questions and get answers the same day.

How classes run
We train crews across Washoe, Storey, Lyon, Douglas, and Carson City counties, along with the Tahoe communities on both sides of the state line. Online classes run on Pacific time, and underground training is scheduled on site.
Live online classes are taught in real time by an MSHA instructor, never as a self-paced computer-based course, and require a computer, webcam, and valid photo ID. Every miner leaves with a certificate and a 5000-23 form filed to your training records.
