WHAT DOES THIS VCA BASIC OR VCA VOL E-LEARNING MODULE COVER
In preparation for the official VCA exam, Normec Praxis offers an online training package for both VCA basic and VCA VOL.
The aim of VCA e-learning is to prepare participants well for the official Besacc-VCA exam.
Three advantages of VCA e-learning
- Learn where and when it suits you
- Pleasant through the combination of watching, listening and practising
- Always meets the current VCA final and test objectives (*)
* Based on VCA final and test objectives in the Netherlands. Certain legislative terms have a different name in Belgium (e.g. Arbo legislation = Code on Well-being at Work)
After each chapter, we test the knowledge with a practice test, with the official sample exam at the end of the online training.
Participants in the e-learning receive:
- An email with login details for the online training
- Access to additional documents such as course information, classroom day rules, exam rules
- Feedback on the results in the online training
VCA is a widely used checklist/management system to promote a safe and healthy working environment.
Although it is not described anywhere in a law or standard, VCA is regarded as a general standard for safety.
In the VCA basic course, you as an employee get a bird's-eye overview of safety, health and well-being at work.
Since working conditions and risks can vary, the electrician must also know something about hazardous substances, or the mechanic about fire and explosion. So it is NOT about the specific safety aspects of one’s own job. You fill these in through vocational training and professional experience.
With our e-learning module, you learn VCA safety where and when you want.
