Course Details
Australian health and safety legislation required employers to verify that their employees possess the necessary skills and qualifications for safe operation, rather than assuming competence. Pinnacle Safety and Training’s Verification of Competency (VOC) assessment is designed to confirm that an operator’s skills align with the machinery and tasks they will be performing in what workplace. This assessment is commonly utilised for pre-employment checks and to meet project-specific requirements.
Our VOC assessments are conducted in accordance with Nationally Recognised Units of Competency, relevant Codes of Practice, Standards, Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) guidelines, WHS legislation, and your company’s procedures. These evaluations ensure that operators meet both industry and site-specific standards.

Student Links
I wanted to thank Ant for his time and enthusiasm in teaching the course. It is plain to see that he is very passionate about the content and genuinely believes that this is the best way to keep people safe in the workplace and even at home. Also, his experience gained from his previous occupations really shines through when queried about real world scenarios. I enjoyed the course, and I believe the other attendees did also. I had to leave early, and Ant went out of his way to catch up with me before flying out the next day to help me complete the course. Cannot thank him enough for that.
