Upcoming changes to the TMI course – prerequisites for renewals and full / new entrants

Please note that the Department of Transport & Main Roads have brought in some pre-requisite changes for the Full & Renewal Traffic Management Implementation courses. As of 1 October 2019, all learners completing the TMI course will need to provide the RTO with copies of the Working In Proximity to Traffic Part 1 & 2 certificates.

What are the Working in Proximity to Traffic courses?
These are online courses run through the TMR website, which have information relevant to anyone involved with works that is in close proximity to traffic.
As the courses are run through TMR, all fees are paid directly to TMR.
Information about the courses, and links to the courses, can be found on the TMR website here.

TMI Renewals will need to provide the WPT part 1 & 2 certificates prior to their course attendance, and TMI Full/New Entrants have 3 months from their course date to provide the RTO with those certificates.

*Please be advised that the RTO is unable to issue the Traffic Management Implementation card until we receive copies of those certificates.

If you have any questions regarding the above information, please contact us on [email protected] or by calling us on 3881 3008 (option 2)
