SOG - training for work in high-risk environments

SOG qualifications are required for high-risk environments such as petrochemicals, refineries, and large industrial plants. In many cases you will not be cleared to work on a project without them.

SOG programmes are more demanding and focus on work in difficult conditions and strict procedures. It is a higher level of preparation than standard courses.

Training and exams are available in several languages, including Polish, Dutch, English, German, and Portuguese.

You need a VCA Basic certificate or an equivalent approved by the exam office. Extra experience is welcome and makes the training easier, but it is not always mandatory.

For telehandler (verreiker) courses, groups are capped at four people. Forklift training groups can be slightly larger - up to six participants per instructor.
