Training photoTraining that reflects the real worksite
Our training is delivered by people who work in traffic management day to day, so course content reflects how sites actually run, not just the theory. We support workers and supervisors across the qualifications needed on New Zealand roads.
Training enquiries are handled directly by our team, so we can match the right course and timing to your crew.

- Identifying workplace hazards
- Assessing workplace risks
- Selecting appropriate control measures
- Monitoring managed risks
- Reviewing the effectiveness of the risk management process
- Using tools such as job safety analysis, area analysis, standard operating procedures and safe work methods
Intro to Risk Assessment
Effective Temporary Traffic Management starts with understanding the hazards and risks of working on and around the road corridor.
This training builds the skills to identify hazards, assess the risk they present and choose the right controls, so TTM personnel can make safe, informed decisions when conditions change.
Mobile Operations
This training develops the skills required to perform mobile operations safely within the road reserve while working under supervision.
Pilot drivers, truck-mounted attenuator operators, advance warning sign drivers, grader/sweeper drivers, cyclic maintenance drivers and road markers.
TTM System: Foundation Principles
This course provides foundational knowledge of New Zealand's temporary traffic management system, including the legislative and regulatory environment, responsibilities and key TTM principles. It is suitable for people who are new to TTM or who require a broader understanding of how the TTM system operates.
TTM workers, supervisors, managers and others requiring system-level TTM knowledge.
Monitoring TTM Controls
This training develops the knowledge and competency required to monitor and maintain temporary traffic management controls on established worksites and respond appropriately when site conditions change.
Workers responsible for monitoring static TTM controls, including STMSs moving into monitoring-focused roles and workers taking responsibility for sites established by another STMS.
Mobile Supervision
This training focuses on supervising mobile operations within the road reserve and ensuring people, vehicles and equipment are deployed safely.
People supervising mobile TTM operations, including existing STMSs and workers progressing toward STMS-level responsibilities.
Risk Assessment
This training provides the knowledge and practical skills required to identify, assess and manage risks associated with activities in the road corridor. Participants learn the principles and processes of risk management and how to complete a risk assessment for an activity requiring temporary traffic management.
TTM designers, project and traffic engineers, corridor managers, health and safety professionals and others responsible for ensuring safe outcomes within the road corridor.
TTM Design
This training develops the skills required to design effective temporary traffic management solutions. Participants learn how to develop a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) for an activity and undertake appropriate consultation with relevant stakeholders. The training also supports the development of effective design and quality assurance processes.
TTM designers, planners, senior designers and other professionals involved in TTM planning, design and PCBU consultation.
Training with MW Training & Planning
MW Training & Planning can support individuals and organisations through the new TTM training and competency framework, from operational road reserve workers through to TTM monitoring, risk assessment and design roles. Our training focuses on applying the learning to real New Zealand worksites, with an emphasis on practical risk management, safe decision-making and demonstrating workplace competency. Talk to our Training Team to discuss the right training for your staff, upcoming course dates, group bookings or organisation-specific training requirements.
