Introduction

This assessment process is for students who are looking to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the Traffic Management Designer 1 (TMD 1).

Target Audience

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that assesses a learner's competency, acquired through formal and informal learning, to determine if they meet the requirements for a unit of study. RPL recognises skills, knowledge and/or experience an individual has gained within and/or outside the formal education and training system and assesses how they meet the requirements for a unit of competency within an Austroads approved skill set. 

If an individual can evidence and clearly show that they have already gained the equivalent skills and knowledge, and that their skill and knowledge is current, then they may be granted recognition of prior learning. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) involves assessment of your knowledge and experience of your previous and current skills, and compares them to the requirements of an Austroads Temporary Traffic Management Training program (skill sets and associated units of competency). If eligible for RPL, you will need to supply evidence to demonstrate your skills and knowledge. 

Please contact us to discuss your eligibility. 

This Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment covers the skills and knowledge required for obtaining the RIISS00063 – Traffic Management Designer – Urban Streets and Low Volume Roads skill set (Traffic Management Designer 1). This skill set has been created to align to the requirements of individuals responsible for developing traffic management plans and traffic guidance schemes, as described in the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management on Temporary Traffic Management Category 1 environments.
