Verification of Competency (VOC) is a process used by civil contractors to confirm that their workers possess the necessary skills and knowledge for safe and efficient job performance. It enhances safety, reduces risks and ensures compliance with regulations.


A Statement of Attainment is a document used to certify an individual's completion of our training programs. This certification can be used to demonstrate your qualifications and abilities, enabling you to fulfil requirements at your current place of work or to help you attain a new role.


Our plant training involves educating individuals on the safe and effective operation of heavy machinery and equipment. It ensures that operators have the skills and knowledge to use these machines correctly. Refresher training, on the other hand, provides periodic updates and reinforcement of these skills.

The Benefits of VOCs


The benefits of VOCs for civil contractors include:


  • Safety: Ensures that workers have the skills and knowledge required to operate equipment and perform tasks safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries on the job site.
  • Compliance: Helps contractors comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards by demonstrating that their workers are competent and qualified for their roles.
  • Risk Mitigation: Reduces the risk of costly legal and financial consequences associated with accidents or non-compliance with safety regulations.
  • Quality Assurance: Improves the quality of work by ensuring that workers are proficient in their tasks, leading to higher standards and better results in projects.
  • Increased Efficiency: Skilled and competent workers are more efficient, leading to reduced project delays and increased productivity.
  • Reputation & Trust: Demonstrating a commitment to safety and competency can enhance a contractor's reputation and build trust with clients, leading to more business opportunities.
  • Adaptability: As technologies and regulations evolve, VOC programs can be updated to ensure that workers stay current with industry best practices.
