VOC Licence to Perform Dogging

What Is a VOC Dogging Assessment?

A VOC Dogging assessment is a theory and practical assessment that confirms you’ve maintained the skills and knowledge behind your existing dogging licence.

A VOC (Verification of Competency) Dogging assessment doesn’t replace your original ticket, it verifies that you’re still competent to use it.

Specifically, this assessment confirms that an individual has maintained the skills and knowledge attained as per CPCCLDG3001 Licence to Perform Dogging or equivalent.

Who Needs a VOC Dogging Assessment?

Many WA mine sites, principal contractors and civil employers require a current VOC commonly one issued within the last two years before you can perform dogging work on their site.

You likely need a VOC Dogging assessment if:

• A mine site or principal contractor has requested proof of current competency
• Your workplace requires a VOC issued within the last two years for site access
• It’s been a while since you performed dogging work and you need to demonstrate you’re still competent
• A new employer or project requires verification before you start on the tools

What You Need Before Booking

A VOC only verifies an existing qualification. It is not a nationally accredited training that replaces your current Dogging licence. To be assessed, you must already hold

If you don’t yet hold a dogging licence, a VOC isn’t the right starting point. You’ll need to complete the full Dogging course first. Before booking, please ensure your high-risk licence hasn’t expired. High Risk Work Licences expire every 5 years, and a VOC can’t be performed on a lapsed licence.
