Across NSW, 21 providers offer a dogging licence course, from $1,200 to $2,100, typically run over 3 to 5 days. A dogging licence, often called a dogman ticket, covers slinging loads and directing crane operators using hand signals, dogging-specific signals or two-way radio.
This ticket suits riggers, crane crews and construction workers who need to sling loads and signal lifts on site. It is a high-risk work licence issued by SafeWork NSW, and most courses combine classroom theory with practical slinging and signalling assessment.
Providers on this page range from regional operators in Cessnock and Orange to metropolitan trainers in Campbelltown and Regents Park. Course length and price vary with the provider and whether candidates already hold a related rigging or dogging background. The licence itself is valid for five years before renewal is required.
