Note: This workshop is brokered by Parallaxx Ltd for Waka Kotahi. Parallaxx facilitate the workshop schedule, venue hire, trainers schedule and delegate workshop assessment marking to Waka Kotahi appointed trainers and subject matter experts. This is a Waka Kotahi workshop, not a Parallaxx workshop. 

The Temporary Traffic Management Planner (TTMP) Workshop (2 days) focuses on planning the Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) for a worksite, with an emphasis on worksites that impact lane capacity. The workshop has been designed for STMSs, Project planners, TMCs, TMP approvers and auditors. This is an Waka Kotahi workshop, not a Parallaxx workshop. 

About the TTMP workshop

The CoPTTM Governance Group (CGG) prioritised the development of a planning workshop for TMP designers, reviewers and approvers.

Waka Kotahi has developed the workshop and introduced a new qualification of Temporary Traffic Management Planner (TTMP). The issuing of this qualification is dependent on the attendees completing the workshop and a back at work assessment.

The 2-day workshop focusses on planning the TTM for a worksite, with an emphasis on worksites that impact lane capacity.

The workshop has been designed with the following roles in mind:

• TMP designers developing TTM documents
• Project planners
• TMCs and other TMP approvers
• Auditors.

This workshop is fully aligned with the recently introduced Waka Kotahi Training and Competency Model. As the different roles in the Training and Competency Model are confirmed within the TTM warrant system any attendees who have already undertaken the TTMP workshop and associated assessments will be given the opportunity to apply for the warrant. This means all previously successful workshop attendees can gain full credit for prior attendance.
 
Key dates are as follows:

• TTM Planners must either hold the warrant or be enrolled on a TTM Planner workshop by 30 April 2021
• There will be a phase in period through to 30 April 2021 to allow time for people to attend training and complete the assessment
• By 30 April 2021, all TMPs submitted for approval must be prepared by a CoPTTM warranted TTM Planner
• The availability of workshops will continue following 30 April 2021 to cover changing roles.

What is covered in the workshop?

• Identifying matters to be addressed
• Planning the closure(s)
