VERIFICATION OF COMPETENCY (VOC)
About this course
A Verification of Competency (VOC) is an assessment of a person’s knowledge and skills. The process assists employers with meeting their Workplace Health & Safety obligations to deem staff competent to perform a task or operate plant and/or equipment. VOCs are undertaken on persons who already hold a current ticket, licence, or unit of competency, to verify that they are still competent to that standard. Persons undertaking a VOC must provide evidence of their existing competency.
