Combined Traffic Control & Traffic Management Course (High Volume Roads)
The TC2 (Traffic Controller) and TMI2 (Traffic Management Implementer) course builds on foundational traffic control skills, enabling participants to work on high-volume roads up to 80 km/h. It focuses on advanced traffic control techniques and the implementation of more complex Traffic Guidance Schemes to manage higher-risk environments. Graduates of this course are qualified to take on senior traffic management roles and work on larger-scale civil construction, infrastructure, and road maintenance projects requiring a higher level of traffic safety oversight.

Here’s What You’ll Learn In This Course:
The TC2 and TMI2 course provides advanced training for individuals seeking to work in higher-risk traffic environments and manage traffic on high-volume roads. It equips participants with the skills and knowledge required to control traffic safely in complex scenarios and implement, monitor, and adjust Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) in accordance with industry standards.
Training covers advanced traffic control methods, including working on roads with higher speed limits and greater traffic density, coordinating larger traffic setups, managing multiple work zones, and ensuring compliance with detailed traffic management plans. Participants also learn to conduct thorough site risk assessments, use and supervise a broader range of signage and safety equipment, and maintain clear communication with road crews, site supervisors, and other stakeholders.
Upon completion, students are awarded a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the advanced traffic control and management units. This qualification enables them to work legally in high-volume road environments and opens up opportunities for senior traffic management positions. Graduates are well-prepared for employment on major infrastructure projects, civil construction worksites, and high-speed road maintenance operations where advanced traffic control expertise is essential.
