This RPL pathway is designed for individuals who have already worked extensively in the industry and can demonstrate competency in safely controlling traffic and implementing traffic management plans in accordance with national standards.
Through a combination of documentary evidence, interviews, and practical demonstrations (where required), eligible participants can receive a Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment. This assessment is conducted by qualified assessors and follows the national guidelines for competency-based recognition, ensuring your knowledge and experience are measured accurately and fairly. The process is aligned with the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management, supporting compliance with current industry standards.
