Description

Welcome to the Licence to operate a bridge and gantry crane (C0) Refresher / Verification of Competency (VOC) Training & Assessment. There are a large number of risks and dangers for anybody operating a bridge and gantry C0 crane. 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 the plant are competent.

This VOC is designed for those who are required to operate a bridge and gantry Crane as part of their role. The aim of this VOC assessment is to ensure that you are competent when you are currently licenced to operate a Bridge and Gantry Crane (licence class C0)

Features of this refresher training include:

- Download a VOC Certificate on successful completion

- A Digital Wallet ID VOC Card is also issued once all your documentation is verified and you’ve been deemed competent by the assessor (see 'John Citizen' sample)

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

This training and assessment program addresses three components of the Licence to operate a bridge and gantry crane C0 class licence (all based upon the unit of competency standard set out in TLILIC0016 or superseded equivalent). The 3 verifications of competency include:

1. Knowledge or theoretical component (tested online with a mixture of critical and non-critical questions)
2. Calculations component (tested online with all required to be answered correctly)
3. 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 C0 class, you must complete an in-person training session with an RTO and Trainer accredited to deliver TLILI0016 training.

If you operate a bridge and gantry crane, 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 costly plant and equipment.

This refresher / VOC course assesses the knowledge, calculations and performance components of TLILIC0016 Licence to operate a bridge and gantry crane (C0) and will provide you with information and assessment on:

1. Plan work/task
2. Prepare for work/task
3. Perform work/task

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 TLILIC0016 (or TLILIC0006) and/or hold a valid C0 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.
