Who it is for

Operatives who control shuttle working through road works, event road closures and site entrances: council highways and grounds teams, event traffic crews and contractors.

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

  • When Stop/Go is the right control, and when it is not
  • Positioning, sight lines and communication between operators
  • Radio and hand signals
  • Dealing with drivers who do not stop
  • Pedestrians and cyclists at the control point
  • Handover, breaks and fatigue

Mark's presentation style was engaging and tailored to the group. The content was clear and easy to follow. Mark kept the session flowing and staggered the practical element, which meant that people remained focused.

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 included in Chapter 8?

Chapter 8 introduces Stop/Go. This session gives operatives the practice and assessment many clients want before putting them on a live shuttle.

Can you run it the same day as Chapter 8?

Yes, as an afternoon add-on or the following morning.
