Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Traffic Controller Skill Set course?

  This nationally recognised Traffic Control course provides the training required to control traffic with a stop-slow bat and ensure the safety of workers, motorists, and pedestrians around roadworks and construction sites.

• Do I need any prior experience to enrol?

  No prior experience is required. You just need to have basic English literacy and numeracy skills, and be physically able to perform the practical tasks during training.

• How long does the Traffic Control course take?

  The course typically takes one day to complete, combining theory and practical training delivered by experienced instructors.

• Is the Traffic Controller qualification recognised across Australia?

  The RIISS00054 Traffic Controller Skill Set is a nationally recognised qualification, meaning the training and units are consistent across all Australian states and territories. However, each state or territory has its own licensing or accreditation process, so you may need to apply for a local Traffic Control licence before commencing work in different states.

• Does my Traffic Control qualification expire?

  Yes. Most states and territories require Traffic Control qualifications to be renewed every three years to ensure your skills and knowledge remain up to date.

• English Requirements

  English and Basic Skills Requirements

  All our short courses are designed to be accessible and practical. Participants are required to have:

  Basic English proficiency – enough to read, understand, and follow written instructions.

  Basic numeracy – the ability to perform simple calculations relevant to the course activities.

  Minimal digital skills – as all our courses are paper-based and do not involve online training.

  No advanced English, math, or computer skills are needed, ensuring our courses are suitable for beginners and those returning to learning.

• USI Requirements

  USI (Unique Student Identifier) Requirements

  All participants enrolling in our short courses are required to have a USI. The USI is a national identifier that allows your training records to be securely stored and accessed online.

  If you already have a USI, please provide it during enrollment.

  If you do not have a USI, you will need to create one before starting the course. Creating a USI is free and can be done online using your personal details, such as your name, date of birth, and email.

  The USI ensures that your course completion is officially recorded and accessible for future reference.
