Check the individual course information pages for further details.

Absolutely, provided the site can provide access to suitable compliant plant and equipment required to undertake the VOC, we are able to quote for Australia wide assessment.
VOCs are undertaken to verify your existing level of competency and are therefore conducted without any training or preparation. It is considered that current licenced, ticketed or competent employees and contractors have the required knowledge and skills to complete the assessment.
Any person deemed not yet competent will be offered the opportunity to undertake refresher training, and undertake another VOC assessment (which may attract an additional cost).
You’ll need to check with your accountant but often workplace training can be claimed as a tax deduction.
Although not mandatory, many worksites require any person working from an EWP (elevating work platform) to have undergone relevant height safety training.
State WHS regulators require some form of proof that the operator has been trained in the safe use of an elevating work platform (EWP). Verbal instruction is not an effective method of training as it lacks proof of training evidence. The EWPA Yellow Card Trained Operator Licence provides adequate evidence of training and helps employers and workers comply with their safety obligations.
The EWPA suggests that safety harnesses are not required on scissor lifts unless a hazard assessment shows there is a risk of falling. EWP manufacturers are not required to fit certified harness attachment points on scissor lifts, as per the Australian Standard AS/NZS1418.10. This is a clear indication that provided the EWP is used and maintained as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, there is no requirement for a harness to be worn. The platform guard and handrails are the primary sources of fall protection for operators.
A dogger or dogman is required when selecting and inspecting lifting equipment; determining sling WLL when angle factors are applied; determining suitable lifting points and slinging & directing a load when it is out of the crane operator’s view.
If the vehicle loading crane, eg: a Hiab or Palfinger, has a lifting capacity under 10 metre tonnes, duty of care training is sufficient. If the lifting capacity is equal to or more than 10 metre tonnes, a High Risk Work licence class CV is required. Metre Tonnes can be calculated by multiplying the lifting capacity with the specified reach. ie: The VLC can lift 1.3 tonnes at a distance of 7 metres: 1.3t x 7m = 9.1 metre tonnes.
