For work with an increased risk of physical injury and material damage, the employee is required to be in possession of a valid VCA diploma. Depending on the tasks and responsibilities, the employee must obtain a diploma for VCA Basic Safety (B-VCA), VOL-VCA for operational managers or VIL-VCU for temporary employment agencies. The e-learning modules always meet the final objectives so that you will not be confronted with surprises during the exam and during your work.

Further information:
Belgium:
he Netherlands and Belgium have a long tradition of cooperation in the field of VCA. This has led to Belgium now using the same system as the Netherlands. Dutch and Belgian VCA diplomas are therefore equivalent and valid in both countries.
Germany, France and Austria:
You can often also get started in Germany, France and Austria with your VCA diploma. It is ultimately your client who determines whether your certificate suffices. Conversely, the German, French and Austrian variants of VCA are also accepted in these countries, whereby the client determines again.
Other countries:
Other countries do not (yet) use safety systems comparable to VCA. Your diploma is not valid there, just as VCA variants from other countries are not valid in the Netherlands. |
| Register |
The diploma is registered in the Centraal Diploma Register VCA (CDR). The diploma is also registered in the profile of the PlusPort Academy, which gives the student a reminder for renewal on time. |
