Who Is This Course For?

The course is suitable for anyone looking to gain work in the traffic management industry. This includes both council and private work that requires the ability to safely and professionally direct and control traffic in hazardous areas.

This yellow card implement traffic control plans ticket is the qualification required to setup traffic control sites, based on a given TCGP or TCGS.

About the Course

The Yellow Card Traffic Management Implementer Skill Set Set is a course designed by the RMS to provide a nationally recognised, competency-based framework for training those who need to control and direct the flow of traffic by implementing Traffic Control Guidance Plans , or TCGPs.

The course offered here at 123 Training Solutions prepares traffic controllers for work in live traffic situations, where they will both implement existing TCGPs for the worksite, or change and adapt those plans if live traffic or weather conditions require it.

Where does White Card fit in?

It is usually best to do the White Card course before doing either of the traffic control courses. That said, you do not technically need a White Card to undertake a traffic control course.

You will definitely need a white card before you can start working on an active traffic control job site. This is because traffic control work is considered to be construction work, and to work on a construction site you are required to hold a white card.

Class Size
