Summary / Introduction
This course follows National Highway Sector Scheme 12D and focuses on the installation and removal of temporary traffic management on both rural and urban roads. It equips learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage traffic effectively in these environments. This course is a key component for Traffic Management Operatives looking to enhance their capabilities.
Target Audience
The course targets Registered Traffic Management Operatives (RTMO), as described in the Sector Scheme Document 12D, who want to add this category to their 12D card. To register as a 12D M3 Operative, learners must first complete the 12D T1/T2 training course. They must also either be in the process of registering as a 12D M2 Operative or already be a registered 12D M2 Operative before applying for M3 registration.
Upon completing the 12D T3 training course, learners must undergo on-site assessments, as detailed in the Sector Scheme Document. These assessments must be completed within two years after passing the training to ensure learners maintain their competencies. This step is crucial for certification, ensuring learners gain practical, hands-on experience.
Each learner will be assessed individually. According to the NHSS12D Sector Scheme Document, unregistered Traffic Management Operatives must be supervised on a one-to-one basis by a suitably registered operative during traffic management operations and capability assessments. Learners must also meet the minimum competency requirements for gang sizes, as outlined on page 23 of the document. Learners not being assessed should stay in a safe location at all times.
