Are you a seasoned traffic management professional looking to formalize your expertise? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for Temporary Traffic Management designer (TMD), Traffic Management Implementer (TMI), and Traffic Controller (TC) qualifications is a streamlined process that acknowledges your existing skills and experience. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about RPL for Temporary Traffic Management, from application to certification. With the new Traffic Management Reforms in place for industry from 2024, CCF Victoria is assisting current industry Temporary Traffic Management Workers transition via RPL.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) means an assessment process that assesses the competency/s of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual meets the requirements specified in the training package or VET accredited courses.
All the RPLs are a nationally recognised Skill Set and is delivered by Civil Contractors Federation (Victorian Branch), a Registered Training Organisation (RTO Number 3704) and an AustRoads approved training provider.
RPL Process
- Read the AustRoads RPL Fact Sheet
- Check Pre-Requisites for your specific RPL level to ensure you meet the requirements.
- Determine Suitability: Make sure you are suitable for RPL. If you have any doubts, contact the RPL Assessor via traffic@ccfvic.com.au.
- Complete Enrolment Form: Use the enrol button at the bottom of website to fill out the our Enrolment form and select the RPLs you require.
- Release of Learner Management System (LMS): We will provide you access to the LMS for uploading Entry Requirement Evidence and the AustRoads RPL Application Form.
- Invoice: You will receive an invoice for the courses selected, which must be paid before the RPL interview.
- Evidence Review and Interview: We will review your evidence and arrange a time for an interview(Online/ Face-to-face) with a CCF AustRoads Approved Assessor.
- On Interview Day: During the interview, you will need to complete various tasks such as:
- Specific State Localised Content
- Competency Questions
