Last week Acquired Awareness visited Mackay to facilitate a Traffic Management Design (TMD) course.

Just this year we have trained traffic management implementation (TMI) in Normanton (Far North Qld), and the TMD in Barcaldine (Central Qld), Cairns (Far North QLD) and now Mackay,

The above regional locations show our commitment to providing outstanding training to all of Queensland.

We’re now looking forward to our upcoming TMD courses in Roma, Hervey Bay, Brendale, Coomera and Caloundra.

If you’re thinking of completing the TMD course, or looking at booking one of your employees in, contact us now on 3881 3008 (option 2) for more information.

Don’t forget we also offer the traffic control (Stop/Slow), traffic management implementation (signage and devices implementation) and white card courses.

Every year millions of people across Australia undertake nationally recognised training in the VET sector. Previously it was difficult to keep track of who did what courses, when they completed them, and whether or not they passed. With this in mind the federal government mandated that RTO’s report all instances of nationally recognised training to one centralised hub.

Through this one central location RTO’s advise when a learner completed a course, whether or not a learner has passed a course and attained the particular qualification and many other details.

The Unique Student Identifier (USI) system was put in place from the 1^st of January 2015. This means that any people who have undertaken nationally recognised training since this date will have their completion of those courses recorded on the USI system.*

You are able to download / print off a transcript of all completed courses since 1 January 2015, with there no longer being any doubt as to someone’s completion in a course. This can be very helpful when applying for other courses, where there are pre-requisite units of competency or qualifications which are required prior to attendance. It also greatly helps with employment where you need to be able to prove what courses you have completed and what qualifications you have attained.

Unfortunately the system is not retrospective, therefore any training that was completed prior to 1 January 2015 is not included on your transcript.

For all of AATC’s courses, including our traffic control and traffic management courses, we will need to be able to access, verify and/or create your USI number (reference number made up of a mix of 10 numbers and letters).

Note you will keep the one (1) USI number with you for the rest of your life, there is not a different USI number allocated for each instance of training.

For more information, including some helpful videos, visit the USI website here.

*Note: there are some people who may qualify for an exemption to this.

Why go for a group booking?

• Group bookings are a great way to get training done quickly and easily
• You can organise a date that better suits your business’ needs
• AATC may be able to come and train at your premises*
• AATC may be able to offer a discount to your business*
• AATC is able to train your staff in regional areas*
• It can be a good tool for team building

Acquired Awareness recently visited Barcaldine, and taking inspiration from the tree of knowledge, trained some keen learners in our first traffic management design course in Central Queensland.

With our training in Normanton (Far North Queensland) and now Barcaldine, we continue our efforts to provide outstanding training to the whole of Queensland, branching out across the state.

Our learners always leave having achieved more than they expected.

For information about our upcoming traffic control, traffic management implementation and traffic management design courses contact us on 3881 3008 (option 2) or email us at [email protected].

We would like to wish everyone a relaxed time over this small holiday break. Remember to stay safe and drive to the conditions of the road. We look forward to training you all in traffic control and traffic management again when you’re well rested from your time off.

Warm regards,

The AATC Team

AATC recently went up to Normanton in the Carpentaria Shire Council, to train some of the councils workers.

No matter where you are in QLD, on unreleased roads, or sealed roads, in order for workers to place out the necessary signage for sites they must hold the Traffic Management Implementation (TMI) qualification.

Acquired Awareness is committed to ensuring quality training is delivered to all parts of QLD.

If you’re from one of QLD’s many regional towns or cities, contact us today to organise training for your staff on (07) 3881 3008 (option 2) or [email protected].
