VCA exams

Are you looking for a VCA exam agency? Then you’re in the right place!

The VCA diploma ensures that your employees or you, work in accordance with the safety guidelines. The exams are made possible by the (translated as: Foundation Collaboration for Safety) Stichting Samenwerken voor Veiligheid (SSVV), which encourage the safety and working conditions of employees who perform work in a risky environment.

More and more companies are making the VCA diploma compulsory for their employees. Having a VCA diploma can therefore increase your job opportunities.

How does the exam work?

Since January 1, 2016 it is mandatory to take VCA exams digitally. You will hear your result immediately after the exam. We provide exams at any location in the Netherlands and abroad that meet the exam guidelines. Depending on the type of exam, the exam lasts between 60 minutes and 75 minutes.

Ascend examengroep B.V. stands for high quality and therefore only works with VCA qualified freelance exam leaders and examiners. Every year, all freelancers are assessed a number of times on their work and knowledge of the exam guidelines.

VCA Available in several languages

We live in a multicultural society and understand that not everyone knows Dutch. That is why we offer the exams in a wide variety of languages.

VCA Basic: Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Slovak, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

All languages ​​are available as a reading exam, except for Bulgarian and Lithuanian.

VCA VOL: Dutch, German, English and French

VIL VCU: Dutch and English

Other foreign language exams will have to be translated. This takes 30 working days and there are additional costs involved.

You can find the list of terms in different languages ​​via this link: ‘List of Terms‘.
