Do I need to renew my old tickets? What about VOCs?
You do not need to renew or upgrade your qualification once it has been issued, however larger construction companies may require that you undertake a process called Verification of Competency (VOC) prior to commencing work on site or upgrade to the newer RII tickets. CTS undertakes VOC’s for all types of construction plant and equipment.
