Summary / Introduction

This course follows the National Highway Sector Scheme 12D, focusing on the installation and removal of temporary traffic management on both rural and urban roads.

Target Audience

The 12D M5 course is designed for all Registered Traffic Management Operatives (RTMOs), as specified in the Sector Scheme Document 12D, who wish to add this category to their 12D card.

To qualify as a 12D M5 Operative, you must have completed the NHSS 12D T1/T2 training course. Additionally, you must either be in the process of registering or already registered as a 12D M2 Operative before applying for the M5 category.

Once you complete the 12D T5 training course, you will need to undergo a series of on-site and off-site assessments, as outlined in the Sector Scheme Document. These assessments must be completed within two years of passing the training to ensure ongoing competency.

Each learner will be assessed individually. According to the NHSS12D Sector Scheme Document, unregistered Traffic Management Operatives must always be supervised one-on-one by a registered Traffic Management Operative during traffic management operations and capability assessments. The assessor cannot act as the supervisor. Additionally, the minimum competency requirements for gang sizes, as outlined on page 23 of the document, must be maintained during assessments. Learners not being assessed must remain in a safe location at all times.
