I hear of a new Training Provider popping up every other week, a basic website cobbled together, advertising dates on social media, offering X course or X assessment, at this rate or that, only to hear a couple of months later that a Company and/or Learner(s) have used them and not had their qualifications registered as they’d expected and paid for, and the person that conducted them has stopped taking their calls, or the provider no longer exists or something of a similar nature.
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our brand-new training hub in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire!
For years, our northern clients have travelled extensively to support us, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication and loyalty. This new hub in Dewsbury is an opportunity to better serve those amazing clients, as well as welcome new clients from across the north, by providing easier access to our training services.
The hub will mirror all of the courses that we deliver at our Birmingham HQ, from entry-level TTMBC, through to M6, M7, LTMO, TMF and TSCO/TSS, as well as many more.
You may have heard of it being talked about across industry, but what is it ?
There has been some disparity in the past, regarding roles and responsibilities for key traffic management personnel. This document was put together to provide clarity on those roles, seeking to address the skills, knowledge, attitude, training and experience necessary to complete various safety critical roles, namely:
•Traffic Management Designer (TMD)
•Traffic Management Manager (TMM)
•Traffic Safety and Control Officer (TSCO) / Traffic Safety Supervisor (TSS)
Customer reviews can play a crucial role in the success of any business. They provide valuable feedback and insights from customers, and can assist businesses with information on what they are doing particularly well, or alternatively in identifying areas of improvement, to enhance their products and services. Additionally, reviews give prospective customers an insight into the reputation and quality of a business, potentially influencing their decision-making process.
As the newly introduced official TM apprenticeship begins to pick up some traction, already some myths surrounding the scheme are beginning to emerge, the following is designed to dispel any myths and hopefully provide as much transparency as possible in relation to the mechanics of the scheme and the options available to TM contractors through the UK, that we are currently aware of.
Awareness, understanding and keeping up to date with industry standards, best practices and legislation is crucial for Auditors. To support this need, we are proud to introduce our brand new NHSS12 Practical Site Auditor training course.
Developed in-house by our team of experienced professionals and certificated by Lantra Awards, this course aims to equip Auditors with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their role. It is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of auditing principles, techniques, and methodologies and how to effectively reference, relate and record observations.
The National Highways Sector Scheme 12 (NHSS12) is a certification scheme that sets out the quality assurance expectations which includes the requirements for the training and certification of personnel involved in temporary traffic management works on the majority of the UK highway network. This scheme not only includes the route(s) to achieving the qualification(s), but also details the parameters for maintaining those of workers in this field, which in some instances offer a grace period for renewing a qualification, post expiry date.
Providing quality assured training and assessments throughout the UK, day and night, 7 days a week.
