Licence to Perform Dogging (DG)

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Slinging a load requires more than just hooking up the relevant chains or cables. To safely sling a load, it requires an understanding of the suitability of the lifting gear, as well as what method of slinging is required. Further consideration of the nature of the load, such as its mass and centre of gravity, is also a factor. The Dogman course teaches you the basics to get the load move safely.

At CTI, you undergo a five day dogging course. You will need suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in order to participate. The course itself is 8 hours per day. All of the training is done at CTI, with no offsite training – CTI has everything required onsite. The course is a mixture of practical and theoretical learning.

Once you have your dogman ticket, you are qualified to make judgment calls when it comes to slinging a load, as well as direct hoist and crane operators with moving loads they cannot see. With your dogman licence, you are able to begin working on constructions sites as a dogman.
