What is the difference between a VOC and a licence?
What is the difference between a VOC and a licence?
A licence or ticket (such as a High Risk Work Licence) is your formal authorisation to perform the work. A Verification of Competency doesn’t replace it — it is an assessment that confirms you have maintained the skills and knowledge behind the licence you already hold. Employers and sites use a current VOC as evidence that you are still competent to operate.
