FAQs

How do I apply for a licence?

Once you’ve completed your training and assessments, you must lodge your High-Risk Work Licence application at an Australia Post outlet within 60 days. At this time, a $86.00 licence fee is payable to SafeWork Australia.

Why do I need a dogging licence? 

A dogging licence is essential for anyone responsible for slinging loads or directing crane operators where the load is out of view of the operator. It ensures you have the skills to estimate loads, select the correct slinging methods, and work safely on high-risk tasks.

What’s the difference between a basic-level and intermediate rigging course? 

Our basic rigging course focuses on basic rigging activities like moving equipment, steel erection, and preventative systems like safety nets. In contrast, an intermediate course builds on this to include rigging for cranes, tilt slabs, demolition, and dual lifts. Both involve classroom and practical learning with assessments and rigging equipment.

Do you offer an advanced course for rigging? 

We do not currently offer Advanced Rigging as a public intake course. However, we can provide on-site training for corporate groups, provided there is a minimum number of participants and the required specialised equipment can be supplied at your location.

Can my employer submit my high-risk work licence for me?

No. The applicant must get this done online via service NSW or at a service NSW office.

Before attending the course, is there anything I need to do?

All Class Training sends pre-course study material for you to complete before attending the course. This material provides background information about rigging and dogging work, as well as examples of questions you must complete in your assessment.

Do I need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) number to enrol in a dogging or rigging course?

You will need a USI to enrol in any Nationally Accredited Course. If you do not have one or cannot remember your number, visit www.usi.gov.au to create or find your USI.
