Who it is for

Event directors, venue operations managers, safety advisory group members, promoters and council events teams who receive traffic management plans, risk assessments and method statements from contractors and have to decide whether they are good enough. Built in 2024 for Formula 1's events team and accredited by NCFE as a customised qualification.

Trainer, kit and signage come to you

Signs, cones and the practical scenario on your own yard or site, so the day is about your roads, not a classroom.

Accredited, so it stands up

NCFE certificates that satisfy traffic authorities, event licences and client audits.

One visit, whole team

Operatives in the morning, supervisors in the afternoon, refreshers alongside. We plan the mix.

Since 2009

Traffic management for London 2012, Glasgow 2014 and hundreds of councils, contractors and events since.

What the course covers

  • What to look for: how traffic management affects the wider event safety plan and the threat and vulnerability assessment (mass evacuation, hostile vehicle mitigation, counter terrorism)
  • How to offer effective advice, guidance and support to event organisers on traffic management for mass public events
  • How to scrutinise and audit event safety plans, risk assessments and traffic management plans
  • Checking risk assessments, method statements and documentation from external contractors
  • Contingency and collaboration with local law enforcement: multi-agency control
  • Final questions, action planning and close

Watch: a Chapter 8 day on site

Filmed on a client practical: briefing, set-out, debrief.

Why it exists

Most event leaders are handed a traffic management plan by a contractor and asked to approve it. This day gives them the vocabulary of Chapter 8, the questions to ask, and the confidence to push back. It was built for Formula 1, whose team scrutinises event plans for races across the world, and it draws on our own experience of Grand Prix, Olympic and Commonwealth Games traffic operations.

Chapter 8 for event planning

For events teams that also need operatives trained, we pair this with the one-day Chapter 8 operatives course so the people approving the plan and the people setting it out share the same standard.

How booking works

  • Send the delegate numbers, location and deadline. We reply with a proposal and a single price within one working day.
  • We deliver on your site anywhere in the UK, at our Northampton training room, or online where the course allows.
  • Certificates and cards are issued after the course and logged so you can evidence competence to a client or auditor.

"But we..."

We only have one or two people

Book them onto the monthly online Chapter 8 course, or ask us to add them to a nearby closed group.

We need it before a contract starts

Tell us the date. Chapter 8 is usually deliverable on site within two weeks, and the online course runs every month.

Our site is not suitable for the practical

A yard, car park or closed access road is enough. We bring the signs and cones.

We need the SWQR card as well

That comes from NRSWA Unit O1. We can deliver it on the same visit.

Questions

Is this a Chapter 8 operatives course?

No. It is for leaders who scrutinise and approve plans. Operatives who set out signs and cones need the Chapter 8 operatives course.

Is it accredited?

Yes. NCFE accredited it as a customised qualification, the Level 2 Award in Principles of Event Planning, Scrutiny and Review, in 2024.

Can it be tailored?

Yes. Every delivery starts with a pre-course call with the lead trainer to shape the scenarios around your events.
