This nationally recognised combined course prepares participants to undertake both Traffic Controller and Implement Traffic Control Plans functions within temporary traffic management.

Participants learn how to stop and direct road users using a stop/slow bat or other portable traffic control devices, as well as how to interpret and implement traffic management plans, set up traffic control devices and signage, monitor changing site conditions, communicate effectively and close down traffic control arrangements safely.

Training includes classroom activities, theory questionnaires and group activities, together with practical implementation using full-scale devices and vehicles in controlled environments.

It may be suitable for people seeking work in:

• traffic control and temporary traffic management
• roadworks and civil construction
• utilities and infrastructure
• construction and maintenance activities involving live traffic environments.

Assessment includes theory questionnaires and activities, practical training in controlled environments and workplace assessment undertaken through live projects.

The workplace assessment component requires participants to demonstrate their skills on the job, including:

• 2 live projects for Traffic Controller
