A VOC assessment verifies one’s competence in a particular task against the identified competency that the individual holds. As an example, if you held a car licence and your employer wanted to verify if you could drive a car safely and to a standard, the RTO would measure your skill against the national standard to drive a car.
In order to complete a VOC you MUST hold the competency against which you are being measured.
VOC or Verification of Competence assessments were initiated by industry to allow employers and contractors to ascertain if the person or persons being employed to complete specific tasks at their workplace were competent to complete the task required.
Many tasks require specific skill sets or recognisable qualifications that the employee would require enabling them to complete that task or tasks.
RMS Training conduct VOC Assessments for a variety of competencies. Our VOC assessments have a 4- point rating. This rating provides the employer with an honest reliable appraisal of the candidate.
For example, if an employee is being assessed to see if they are suitable to operate a track dozer, we will test them on the dozer. At the completion of the VOC we will give them a rating out of 4.
(1) is a fail, (2) is low experience, (3) is medium experience and (4) represents an advanced level of competence. Having a 4-point rating system allows the employer to decide if that employee is suitable for the job or task in question.
RMS is well regarded for the quality of their VOC assessment documents and the level of theory and practical evaluation that needs to be completed. This ensures the VOC was completed to the highest standard and the outcome is trustworthy and reliable.
RMS design dashboard assessments to suit a specific brand or model type of equipment or a specific task. An example of a dashboard assessment could be the development of the assessment to suit a Komatsu HM300 dash 7 articulated truck or a Caterpillar D10N track dozer or a Genie GS1932 scissor lift. RMS develop the dashboard assessments at the request of employers or customers.
All VOC assessments can be generic and or designed for a specific model or task if needed.
