Proof of TMO Current Competence - Individual Assessment

Training Aspirations has developed a Proof of TMO Current Competence which includes individual assessment. 

The day includes:

• 1.5 hour session – knowledge load up covering the new credentials framework, NZGTTM and Risk assessment
• An in the field assessment including setting up, maintaining and removing a shoulder closure, completing an inspection activity and minding a stop/go or lane diversion.

This event is designed to ensure that participants are utilising the latest risk-based approach with safe, effective and efficient practices when performing their TMO tasks. 

Upon successful completion of this event, the participants will receive a certificate which can be used as proof of TMO current competence.

Why does an TMO have to prove current competence?

Under the health and safety legislation the company must ensure that staff remain current in their abilities. 

TTM competency can be proven by:

• Holding an appropriate unit standard (US31960)
• Holding a current Waka Kotahi warrant (TMO P)
• Or a company specific training program

NZTA has removed the warrant system, therefore there are no longer a way for a TMO to refresh their qualification. 

The NZTA warrant system allowed for a three yearly refresher of competence as a TMO. There is no refresher requirement for any of the unit standards, they are awarded for life.

It is up to individual PCBUs to determine how they keep their staff current.

Fee is $795 (+GST) pp. This includes hire of TTM vehicle, crew and equipment.

Should you wish to use your own TTM vehicle, crew and equipment please contact the office. 021386357.

There needs to be minimum 3 participants for this event to go ahead, they do not need to be from the same company. 

The participant needs to hold:

• A current TMO Practising warrant, or 
• A TMO Practising warrant expired no more than 12 months. or
• Unit Standard 31960

If the TMO does not hold US31960, you can apply to Connexis for Recognition of Prior Learning based on the participant holding a current TMO practising warrant, or the warrant expired no more than 12 months. To see more about this, click the link below:
