Booking an examination

  • All exams are conducted in person at WorkSafe approved venues. If you are unsure which exam or statutory position applies to you, visit Statutory positions. 

    To book an exam, you must first create an account in the Mines Statutory Positions Portal (MSPP). Refer to the Registering an account: MSPP guide for instructions.

    If you require further assistance, contact the MSP team at msp@lgirs.wa.gov.au.  

  • Exams are held regularly throughout the year. You can find the upcoming exam schedule on Mines statutory positions: Schedule of examinations as new sessions become available.

    Exams are currently conducted in:

    • Cannington
    • Kalgoorlie
  • You can cancel or reschedule an exam booking through the Mines Statutory Positions Portal (MSPP).

    If you no longer require your scheduled exam, you must cancel your booking as soon as possible. This allows the exam place to be allocated to another candidate.

    Refer to the Cancelling and rescheduling an exam: MSPP guide for instructions. 

  • Yes. You may only book one exam session per exam type.

    Any extra bookings will be cancelled to ensure fair access to exam sessions for all candidates.

  • No. Once you have passed an exam, you cannot book the same exam again.

  • If you are unable to attend a scheduled exam session, you must cancel your booking as soon as possible. This allows the exam place to be allocated to another candidate.

    Failure to attend an exam session without cancelling your booking (a 'no-show') may result in future exam bookings being cancelled.

  • Yes. If you need extra support to participate in a statutory exam due to your personal circumstances, you may be able to apply for an assessment arrangement. Please arrange for the Request for assessment arrangement (diagnosed conditions) form to be completed and email to msp@lgirs.wa.gov.au. Confidentiality is maintained.

    If you request an assessment arrangement, do not book an exam session until the requested assessment arrangements have been approved.
