Work Zone Traffic Control Combo Skill Set Course

Course Details

The Traffic Control Work Training Traffic Controller and Traffic Management Implementer Course are the two most common courses students complete to gain employment in the Traffic Management industry.

To be able to work on the road in a Traffic Control capacity to operate a Stop/Slow Bat, you will need a minimum of a Traffic Controller License. If that work location is a construction site, you will need a White Card (to be on a construction site).

The license for Traffic Management Implementer allows you to set up and prepare a site as opposed to only using the Stop/Slow Bat.

By completing the Traffic Control Working Training Course (Combo) you can increase your chances of gaining employment.

Traffic Control Working Training Course details are covered in the course PDF.

If organising staff training or onsite training, we can facilitate the Traffic Control training nationally.
