Welcome to the Licence To Perform Rigging Basic Level (RB) Refresher / Verification of Competency (VOC) Training & Assessment. There are a large number of risks and dangers for anybody working as a rigger. This VOC assessment course has been designed to give you an understanding of these risks and the system in place to help keep you safe. It also serves as an assessment for PCBU’s or business operators to ensure they are compliant with the WHS Act (or equivalent) in that operators of plant are competent.

This VOC is designed for those who are required to do basic rigging work as part of their role. The aim of this VOC assessment is to ensure that you are competent when you are currently licenced to perform rigging at a basic level (licence class RB)

Features of this refresher training include:

- Download a VOC Certificate on successful completion

- All your documentation will be securely issued once you’ve been deemed competent by the assessor (see 'John Citizen' sample) 

- Verification of competency by our RTO partner, AlertForce RTO Code 91826 and a Licenced High Risk Work Assessor.

This training and assessment program addresses three components of the Licence to perform basic rigging RB class licence (all based upon the unit of competency standard set out in CPCCLRG3001 or CPCCLRG3001A or superseded equivalent). The 3 verifications of competency include:

A. Knowledge or theoretical component (tested online with a mixture of critical and non-critical questions)

B. Calculations component (tested online with all required to be answered correctly)

C. Performance component (practical with access to relevant workplace plant and equipment)

The VOC assessment is based upon the intent of the Mandated National Assessment Instruments (NAI’s). However, it is important to note that this training & assessment does not give you the practical skills required to operate or apply for a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) nor is it Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment. This is to be used for VOC purposes only. To achieve initial accreditation or high risk licensing for the RB class, you must complete an in-person training session with an RTO and Trainer accredited to deliver CPCCLRG3001A training.

If you are working around cranes or other plant and equipment, many employers will want to ensure you are competent as, if not, you could endanger your safety and the safety of those around you or damaging the machinery.

This refresher / VOC course assesses the knowledge, calculations and performance components of CPCCLRG3001 Licence to perform rigging basic level (RB) and will provide you with information and assessment on:

1. Plan job
2. Select and inspect equipment
3. Setup task
   
4. Erect structures and plant
   
5. Dismantle structures and plant
   

THIS IS NOT A NATIONALLY RECOGNISED COURSE - ONLY TO BE USED FOR REFRESHER / VOC PURPOSES IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVED A STATEMENT OF ATTAINMENT in CPCCLRG3001A and/or hold a valid RB licence. 

Note: Whilst a Statement of Attainments do not expire, different worksites have different policies and requirements of what refresher training should be. You should check with your employer if you are unsure. This VOC assessment course is a Verification of Competency undertaken by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code 91826) and a High Risk Work Accredited Assessor with over 40 years experience.
