What is dogging?

Dogging work includes: The application of slinging techniques, the selection and/or inspection of lifting gear, the directing of a crane/hoist operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of the operator’s view, assessing the weight of a load and communicating with the crane operator in regards to the capabilities of the crane.

Course Cost:

$1,295.00 per person the participant will need to pay the SafeWork licence fee of $90.00 (subject to change). We are prevented by law from managing this process. The licence will need to be renewed with SafeWork every five years.

These fees cover all training, assessment, use of machinery/equipment, stationary (books, pens, use of calculator and resources) and most importantly, the amazing experience.

A 50% deposit is required when making a booking as spaces are limited. Corporate rates and group pricing is also available.

Deposits are fully refundable if your booking is cancelled with more than 7 days’ notice from your course start date. If the booking is cancelled within seven or less days’ notice, then only 50% of the booking fee is refundable.

The full course fee must be paid prior to the final assessment and prior to issuing any official course outcome documentation (Statement of Attainment). In the event that we have not received full payment, we will withhold the documentation which will then be sent via Registered Mail upon receipt of payment, at no additional cost. Upon completion of the course, the participant will then be issued a statement of attainment in the above unit. Participants who do not satisfactorily complete the course in the first attempt have 60 days from the course completion to undertake a second and third attempt at the assessment at an additional cost (to be determined on a case-by-case basis).  Participants who wait longer than 60 days to undertake the second attempt will need to re-enrol into the course and pay the full course fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Over 5 days, you'll cover everything from WHS legislation and safety procedures, to calculating load weights, selecting and inspecting lifting gear, and demonstrating a range of bends and hitches. There's also a strong focus on communicating with crane operators and directing crane movements safely. Assessment is a mix of practical demonstration, written testing, and verbal questioning.

No prior experience is needed, but there are a few requirements. You must be 18 or older, have a sufficient level of English to understand regulations and complete the written assessment, and have basic maths skills (you'll be calculating load weights and working with formulas). You'll also need a USI (Unique Student Identifier) and a Service NSW account to obtain your Assessment Enrolment Number (AEN) before the course.

While a dogging licence is required before undertaking the basic rigging course, it is not currently a legal prerequisite for crane licences. That said, we recommend completing the dogging course first as it provides valuable foundational skills for lifting and crane operations.

You don't need a White Card to complete the dogging course itself. That said, if you plan to work on a commercial construction site once you're licensed, a current White Card is a legal requirement. If you haven't got one yet, it's worth sorting before you head out to your first job.
