The Certificate IV in Traffic Control is a nationally accredited qualification designed to equip you with the necessary skills to become a certified Traffic Controller. It encompasses crucial topics such as traffic control plans, safety principles, traffic signals and devices, along with the ability to safely direct traffic.
On the other hand, RIIWHS302D and R11WHS205D are shorter courses providing skills and knowledge in traffic management and control. While not nationally accredited, these courses offer a comprehensive understanding of traffic control principles, workplace safety, and safe traffic direction. They serve as an excellent option for those seeking insight into traffic control without committing to the full Certificate IV.
Typically, it takes around 8-10 days to complete the two tickets, RIIWHS302D Implement Traffic Management Plan, and R11WHS205D Control Traffic with Stop-Go Bat. However, the timeframe may vary depending on the individual and the training provider. It’s essential to note that these tickets are valid for 5 years and must be renewed after the expiry date.
To work as a Traffic Controller, it is a legal requirement to have sufficient English language comprehension skills. This includes the ability to understand Safe Work Method Statements, Traffic Management Plans, and Traffic Guidance Schemes. Moreover, you must be capable of speaking English clearly to communicate effectively with your traffic control team and provide instructions to drivers and pedestrians.
