Successful participants will receive a Statement of Attainment – CPCCLDG3001A Licence to Perform Dogging and a Notice of Satisfactory Assessment, form to lodge at Australia Post for a National Licence to Perform High Risk Work (HRW) for Class – DG.
Upon successful completion, prerequisite requirements to be able to progress to CPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging – basic level and/or for any HRW crane licence have been satisfied.
To apply for a HRW licence, the HRW assessment paperwork and application form together with a passport sized photo must be lodged at an Australia Post outlet and pay the lodgement fee, this must be done within 60 days of completion of your HRW assessment.
If a student fails to lodge their paperwork within 60 days this will result in the operator being deemed an unlicenced operator and full training and/or assessing fees will apply after the 60-day period.
Currently a HRW Licence is valid 5 years from the date of issue, however If your address changes within this period we suggest licence holders update their details with the relevant authorities, failure to do so may result in the licence renewal not being received and renewal period lapsing, resulting in training and assessment needing to be completed again, full course payments would apply.
