Verification of Competency – Elevating Work Platform

Our EWP Under 11 Metres Course in Perth provides participants with the practical skills and knowledge required to safely operate boom-type elevating work platforms (EWPs) with a boom length of under 11 metres.


Verify Your EWP Skills. Meet Workplace Requirements. Work Safely at Heights.

Our Verification of Competency (VOC) – Elevating Work Platform (EWP) assessment is designed for individuals who already have experience operating an Elevating Work Platform (EWP) and need to demonstrate their competency before working on-site.

Many employers and project sites require operators to complete a VOC assessment to confirm they can safely operate boom lifts, scissor lifts, and other elevating work platforms while following workplace procedures and Australian Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) legislation.

During the assessment, participants demonstrate their ability to perform pre-operational inspections, identify hazards, conduct risk assessments, safely operate an EWP, use fall protection equipment where required, and comply with site-specific safety procedures. Successfully completing a VOC helps employers verify operator competency and maintain a safe working environment.

1. What is an EWP Verification of Competency (VOC)?

An EWP VOC is a practical assessment that confirms an operator has the skills, knowledge, and experience to safely operate an Elevating Work Platform in accordance with workplace and Australian WHS requirements.

2. Do I need prior EWP experience before completing a VOC?

Yes. A VOC is intended for individuals who already have EWP operating experience or relevant training. It is an assessment of competency rather than an initial training course.

3. Is this an EWP licence course?

No. This is not an EWP training or licence course. It is a competency assessment used by employers to verify an operator’s practical skills and workplace readiness.

4. How long does the assessment take?

The assessment usually takes a few hours, depending on the type of EWP being assessed, the participant’s experience, and workplace requirements.

5. Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Participants who successfully demonstrate the required competency will receive a Verification of Competency (VOC) or employer-recognised competency record, depending on workplace requirements.
