4 Introduction The Traffic Control Training RPL process has been specifically designed for Professional Traffic Controllers that have a wealth of experience they can draw upon from their workplace. This RPL tool is designed to assist you in gathering the assessment evidence from your workplace. This evidence gathering process is absolutely crucial to you gaining your Traffic Control qualifications through the RPL process. Don t leave your application too late in order for us to process and assess your RPL application you will need to allow a minimum of 3 working weeks before the expiry of your current RMS licence/s. The course fee allows for 3 assessment opportunities by one of our expert trainer/assessors. This means that if after your first submission there is still some evidence required you will have another 2 opportunities to submit evidence to support your RPL application. After this each additional assessment will cost $ Your enrolment for RPL is only valid for 6 months. If you do not complete your RPL application in this time you will have to re-enrol and pay the enrolment fees again. Please note that when your RPL application has been successfully completed and assessed you will be issued your licences directly from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). What is RPL? RPL or Recognition of Prior Learning is the acknowledgment of your current skills and knowledge obtained through: life experience work experience education and/or previous training You will need to demonstrate your skills and knowledge to one of our trainer/assessors through your RPL application. If successful, you will be issued with the same credentials as if you had undertaken the full unit as an enrolled candidate. What RPL is Not! Using the RPL process is not an easy way to get a qualification. It is not a matter of time served or the amount of experience you have. Applicants need to be committed to supporting their case by locating and providing suitable, authentic and reliable evidence and documentation. This often requires a significant effort. Pre requisites for an RPL Application Participants must hold or have held in the last 6 months the relevant Traffic Control qualifications and should be a highly experienced traffic control professional to be eligible for the RPL application process. In addition to the traffic control qualification, the participant must hold a General Induction Card (White card) or equivalent and hold a current driver s licence (red P s acceptable). In summary: a) NSW RMS Traffic Controller (formerly known as Blue Card) and/or NSW RMS Apply traffic control plans (formerly known as Yellow Card) or equivalent traffic control accreditation or b) Traffic Controller or Implement Traffic Management Plans OR c) Statement of Attainment for relevant traffic control units of competence attained through another qualification such as Cert 3 Civil Construction d) Work Safely in the Construction Industry (White card) e) Current drivers licence (red P s acceptable) Page 4 of 25

5 What units of competence are you being assessed against? Participants will have their knowledge, skills and experienced assessed against the following units of competence; RIICOM201D Communicate in the Workplace RIIWHS201D Work Safely and follow WHS policies and work procedures RIIWHS205D Control Traffic with a stop/slow baton or device RIIWHS302D Implement Traffic Management Plan Evidence required to prove current competence This guide is designed to assist you in gathering the assessment evidence from your workplace. The evidence gathering process is crucial to you successfully completing the RPL application and ultimately receiving the appropriate Traffic Controller and/or the Implement Traffic Management Plans Photo Cards. Please note that when you have successfully completed your RPL application, you will be issued your Photo Card/s directly from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). It is very important that the work place evidence you submit for assessment is genuinely your own work. The assessor will from time to time follow up with the person signing the third party report to determine the authenticity of the evidence and to ensure the person signing has the experience and expertise necessary to make such a judgement. You can never provide too much evidence. The assessor will gather all the evidence and create what we refer to as A Portfolio of Evidence for each student. It is the assessor s job to determine if the evidence you have submitted meets the requirements of the qualification. If successful, you will be deemed competent by the assessor and issued with a Statement of Attainment Certificate. If the assessor finds evidence gaps, you will be deemed not yet competent. The assessor will contact you to give feedback, guidance and support. Page 5 of 25

8 Video evidence for Traffic Controller In order to issue a traffic control photo card, the Assessor & the RMS want to be assured that you can do the job.

You must be wearing the correct PPE whilst undertaking these duties. The video for traffic controller must clearly show the following criteria: 1. Clearly identify yourself stating your name and what you are about to perform i.e. my name is John Smith and I am about to demonstrate controlling traffic in Baan Baan street Dapto. The TCP I am working under is TCP 83 modified 2. A verbal statement clearly mentioning what equipment you are about to use and that you have performed the appropriate checks before commencing work. I.e. I am about to use the stop/slow bat along with my hand held 2way radio. I have checked all equipment and I am about to start controlling traffic. 3. Whilst controlling traffic, you must clearly demonstrate the use of the 4 hand signals (i.e. Stop, stop there, proceed, slow down) 4. Whilst demonstrating the correct use of 2way radios, you must clearly communicate your intention to send traffic (i.e. am I clear to send?) and when stopping traffic clearly communicating you last car (i.e. last car through was black twin cab 19 in the middle) Page 8 of 25

10 Video evidence for Packing up a Traffic Control Plan worksite In order to issue a traffic control photo card, the Assessor & the RMS want to be assured that you can do the job.
