What happens after traffic control training?
Finished your classroom days in Victoria? The workplace evidence, assessment and card steps that complete your TC1 and TMI1 course.
Written byEdway
The short answer
The 3 classroom days are only the first part. Within 6 months, TC1 learners complete 20 logged hours and a supervised assessment. TMI1 learners complete 3 traffic-management setups.
After the required practical work is accepted, you receive the full skill-set outcome and digital card.
Finishing your traffic control training is a big step towards a new role on the road. Here is what comes next, so you can plan your practical work and get your card in hand.
The full pathway
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Classroom training | 2 theory days and 1 simulated practical day |
| Workplace evidence | TC1 hours and assessment, plus TMI1 setups |
| Completion | Statement of Attainment and TTM Digital Card |
The post-course work must be completed within 6 months. If it is not completed in time, the skill-set requirements have not been met.
The classroom days give you the theory and a simulated practical day. The workplace evidence is where you put those skills to work on real sites.
Complete the TC1 evidence
For Traffic Controller 1, you complete 20 logged hours of practical traffic control. You also complete a supervised assessment.
This is real-world evidence after the classroom course. It shows that you can apply the traffic-control skills under supervision.
Your logged hours are where your Traffic Controller training comes to life. You build confidence directing traffic and keeping workers and the public safe.
Complete the TMI1 evidence
For Traffic Management Implementer 1, you complete 3 traffic-management setups. Each setup must follow the relevant Traffic Management Plan and Traffic Guidance Scheme.
The setups demonstrate that you can put approved traffic arrangements into place. They are separate from the TC1 logged hours.
The TMI1 part of your course teaches you to set up a site the right way, so you can do more than hold a sign on the job.
Keep to the 6-month limit
Both practical parts must be finished within 6 months of the theory training. Start your workplace evidence early so you finish comfortably within that period.
Edway will tell enrolled students what evidence is required. Our team is here to help you through each step, from your first logged shift to your final setup.
What you receive
After the classroom and practical requirements are complete, you receive a Statement of Attainment. It covers the 6 units in the combined TC1 and TMI1 course.
You also receive a TTM Digital Card recorded on the Austroads national practitioner register. The card is valid for 3 years.
Edway Training (RTO 91401) delivers and issues this Victorian course as an Austroads and Department of Transport and Planning approved provider.
With your card in hand, you are ready to start traffic control work.
Will you receive a plastic card after traffic control training?
Your traffic control card is digital. Once your classroom days and practical work are accepted, you receive your TTM Digital Card, recorded on the Austroads national practitioner register, along with your Statement of Attainment.
Because your card lives on the register, there is no plastic card to lose. Your ticket is ready whenever an employer asks to see it.
Before the course
You need a current White Card before starting. Edway requires the Statement of Attainment as evidence, not only the plastic card.
Have it ready when you book your traffic control course, and you are set to start.
