Evolve Training Academy’s Level 1 Basic Traffic Controller Course provides in depth training on Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) guidelines, skills and requirements set out by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) for work activities on Level 1 Roads.

The course will suit anybody who is looking to carry out TTM duties on state highways or local roads and are required to have a TC qualification. Qualified staff will be working underneath an STMS as a Manual Traffic Controller (MTC / Stop/Go).

Evolve Training Academy has been providing NZQA accredited unit standards for traffic management training; traffic control course, driver training, through to competency based STMS training and health & safety mitigation courses. They are regulated by NZQA & NZTA and independently audited. Their courses are based on NZQA unit standards and recorded on individual’s NZQA Record of Learning. They have competency-based assessments. Their professional Level 4 adult educators teach technical industry specific courses.

The one-day course covers introduction to the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM); authorities of a traffic controller, responsibilities, equipment and signs. The course will allow staff to operate as a manual traffic controller and train in static and mobile operations. They will also gain the ability to understand and file out correct documentation. Successful participants will be issued with a temporary I.D. card as evidence until the NZTA TC Certificate and I.D. card arrives which is valid for three years from the date of the course.

The course is predominantly classroom based with optional additional practical exercises. Computers are provided to all attendees. Attendees will be taught to navigate Code of practice for temporary traffic management (CoPTTM) to find answers to tests. This is an extremely useful tool as it empowers employees to find solutions to problems in the field and facilitates on-going learning.

Evolve Training Academy has come out of a collaboration between Evolution Traffic Management and Passrite Driving Academy. It has been formed to create a pathway specifically for the Temporary Traffic Management Industry. Evolution are traffic management experts who have been delivering industry related training for close to 15 years. PassRite are long established (25 years) specialists in driver licensing, training and assessment; including traffic management vehicles.
