Event Traffic Controller (ETC)

Short CoursesNon-Accredited CoursesCourses
The Event Traffic Controller (ETC) course is a Main Roads WA developed course targeted to those who organise and work at events on and near roads. This non-accredited course is a minimum requirement for all persons working at events on roads, in a low-complex traffic environment and where the posted speed does not exceed 60kp/h. This short course provides participants with the necessary skills to implement event warning signs and maintain the safety of event goers and road users. The course is delivered face to face and includes theory assessments and simulated practical training and assessments. This level of Main Roads WA accreditation is suited to event organisers/managers, event community groups or event volunteers. Please note if you are required to implement signs and devices at an event location that has higher speeds such as 80kp/h zone, you will be required to undertake BWTM or BWTM/TC training.

Learning Outcomes

Plan and prepare for events in accordance to a TMP/TGS, WHS and legislative requirements

Stop and direct road users using a stop/slow bat where the posted speed does not exceed 60kp/h and understand stopping sight distances

Communicate with others and operate a two-way radio correctly and effectively

Identify risks/hazards and safety implications of traffic control at events and personal responsibilities

Monitor and close down traffic guidance schemes including conducting housekeeping duties

Competencies

This is a non accredited course, therefore, no nationally recognised Statement of Attainments are included or issued.

AusQ Training is a Main Roads WA approved training provider, therefore, upon successful completion, participants will also receive a digital Main Roads WA Event Traffic Controller (ETC) accreditation (valid for 3 years). All certification records are issued in digital format and will be sent through your email.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No, this level of accreditation is only suited for events on or near roads (not roadworks).  If you are wishing to gain employment working in the road construction or maintenance field, you will be required to consider the Main Roads WA BWTM or BWTM/TC accreditation.

This accreditation is valid for up to three (3) years and after which you are required to renew your accreditation again.  Due to being a short duration course, there is no dedicated reaccreditation course and therefore you undertake the training again.  During training, our Trainer will include and cover details about the changes that have occurred over the last 3 year period from when you’ve last undertaken your training.

Unfortunately, you will be unable to complete this training, as Main Roads WA require participants to hold a current driver’s licence in order to be issued an Event Traffic Controller (ETC) accreditation.

What Our Customers Say About Us

I choose AusQ Training for the assistance with providing a refresher course for my AWTM. They were able to offer flexibility of service. I would recommend others to AusQ Training within the construction industry seeking Traffic Management training services.

Robbie Cribbin
Project Manager - Downer

We reached out to AusQ Training as it is a contract requirement for our operators to obtain this license to perform works within 3m of a road. AusQ were able to offer the training the soonest. We now have the ability to expand the number of staff we can resource to serve our contract. I would recommend AusQ to others as it is fast access to training that meets requirements.
