Is a VOC different to RPL or Ticket Conversion?

Yes in simple terms a VOC is verifying skills and RPL / ticket conversion is the process where the student has written evidence of operating currency.  On most occasions people will provide an expired ticket accompanied with a recent letter on a letterhead from their employer.

If you are a ABN contractor / self employed, written evidence of the site you work on such as a VOC or letter from the operations manager or onsite trainers.

The information required on the company letterhead should contain your name, type of machine/s, type of work, location and dates when work was performed and length of employment,.

Ticket conversions are also a cheaper option.  For more information about ticket conversions from old tickets used prior to 2012 please see Ticket Conversion under “Services” in the navigation.

TIP: Plan ahead and write the letter and email to your supervisor for the wording you require.  This will save time and be more convenient for the supervisors to issue the signed statement for you.  (Remember: statement must be on a letterhead from the company, thank you.)
