Traffic Management Courses

 

What is the Temporary Traffic Management Program?

Australian States and Territories have agreed to harmonise the temporary traffic management training and standards.

The new National Training Framework for Temporary Traffic Management ensures individuals working in the industry complete standardised training and are appropriately assessed and registered to work in the industry.

The program is primary focused on professional temporary traffic management workers.

There are three Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) roles covered by the training:

  • Traffic Controller (TC)
  • Traffic Management Implementer (TMI)
  •  Traffic Management Designer (TMD)

There are eight temporary traffic management national training programs with associated Skill Sets. They cover workers who work on:

  • Category 1 Roads – low volume low speed roads
  • Category 2 Roads – High-Volume high-speed roads
  • Category 3 Roads – Freeways

For a summary of the new national program see the Vicroads Website

For further details on the training requirements see the Austroads Website

FAQ

Do all Personnel in the Civil Construction Industry have to complete the National Training program?

No: if you are not a professional Traffic Management Worker (Traffic Management is not your Primary Role, there is a new program being developed or you, an announcement will be made at a later date. In the interim you can still use your original TM qualifications until your card expires.

If you are working in the utilities sector, events sector or other industries that do not involve significant Traffic Management plan implementation or Traffic control you should enrol in the Temporary traffic control and Management Units RIIWHS 203 and 305. (click here) If you are unsure contact Systec on 03 94840086

I am involved as in Traffic management in the capacity as a project Engineer, safety professional, construction supervisor etc. I do not actively implement TM plans or control traffic, Do I have to obtain the Skill Sets?

No: You will need to complete the theory component for each course. You will not be required to complete the worksite placement. A theory only course (no post course practical required) is designed for workers who do not directly undertake temporary traffic management roles at worksites, that is they need to know about traffic management, but do not perform a traditional traffic management role. You will not be issued with a Statement of Attainment for the Skill Sets but you will be issued with a Statement of Completion. This Statement of Completion provides the individual with non-practitioner status which excludes the individual from performing the function of Traffic Controller and Traffic Management Implementer.
