This course is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the techniques and procedures required to safely operate an Emergency Maintenance and Control Centre (EMCC) vehicle. The focus is on the critical tasks involved in the installation and removal of traffic management schemes, specifically on motorways and high-speed dual carriageway roads. Through this training, learners will gain the necessary skills to ensure these operations are carried out safely, efficiently, and in compliance with relevant traffic management regulations. By the end of the course, learners will have demonstrated their competence in these tasks and will have earned full EMCC Operator status, a recognised certification that confirms their ability to work in this demanding field.

As part of the certification process, learners are required to complete a minimum of one ‘live’ assessment, which consists of three distinct units. These units will test the learner’s practical abilities and understanding of the procedures involved in managing traffic schemes, operating EMCC vehicles, and ensuring safety during high-speed roadworks. All assessments must be conducted in a real-world environment, providing learners with the opportunity to demonstrate their competence under actual working conditions.

Once the assessment process has been initiated, learners will have a two-year period in which to complete all required assessments. This allows sufficient time for learners to gain practical experience and proficiency in each unit. The two-year window ensures flexibility, but learners must complete all assessments within this period to achieve certification. Upon successful completion of the assessments, learners will be awarded their EMCC Operator certification, which will be valid for a set period, typically 5 years, depending on the regulatory requirements. This qualification allows learners to undertake key responsibilities in traffic management operations, ensuring the safety of road users and maintenance crews on high-speed roads.
