Fast Lane Training Services offer courses under the National Highways Sector Scheme “12D Installing, Maintaining and Removing Temporary Traffic Management on Rural and Urban Road”. The awarding body for these courses are Lantra Awards. Sector Schemes are quality management schemes designed to ensure a suitably trained and skilled workforce in the industry. The schemes specify the training that candidates must have to ensure that they can work safely and to the highest standard in traffic management in the United Kingdom.

In addition to the NHSS 12D courses, we offer the “Traffic Management for Community Events” course (also certificated by Lantra), and a bespoke training/briefing package (certificated by Fast Lane Training Services).

All our Traffic Management courses can be held at our own centre in Norfolk or at a client’s own location; we have delivered these courses all over the UK including Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, East Sussex and Hertfordshire.

Why has this course been developed?

The police will no longer take responsibility for traffic management at pre-planned events until they are of national significance or area a potential risk to public safety. This training course has been developed by Lantra, in partnership with Cormac Solutions Ltd, to provide event organisers with the knowledge required to create a Traffic Management Plan and an understanding of issues affecting traffic, pedestrian and event staff safety.

Target audience

This training is aimed at event organisers or individuals that have responsibly for Traffic Management of organised events working in conjunction with local Highway Authority, the police and other authorities and persons as appropriate. The course would also benefit Highway Authority staff involved in the organisation or approval of community events.
