Renewing Your QLD Traffic Management Card made easy with Upskills QLD
To renew your Traffic Controller and Traffic Implementation accreditation in Queensland, you are required to successfully complete the Transport and Main Roads (TMR) approved training program with an approved Registered Training Organisation like Upskills QLD. You must also demonstrate your industry currency , commonly known as Currency Of Industry Practice (COIP) as a Traffic Controller and a Traffic Management Implementer.
What is Currency of Industry Practice (COIP) for Traffic Management
The renewal process is designed to ensure you can demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to work safely as a Traffic Controller or Traffic Management Implementer and to make sure that you are competent and up-to-date.
Vocational competency is defined as broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification. A person who has vocational competency will be familiar with the content of the vocation and will have relevant current experience in the industry.
How often do I need to renew my QLD accreditations and submit COIP?
Your Traffic Controller Industry Authority and your Traffic Management Implementation cards must be renewed every three (3) years.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you maintain current accreditation when performing traffic controller or traffic management implementation duties.
When these cards expire you are not accredited to perform these duties and therefore effectively unlicensed.
How long has COIP been implemented in QLD
The currency of industry practice has been used in Queensland in order to assess peoples industry knowledge and skills for the renewal of their traffic control and traffic management implementation industry accreditation cards since about 2015 although the current CIP was implemented in 2019.
The Upskills QLD Best Practice Traffic Control and Traffic Management Implementation Renewal Approach
The Upskills QLD approach, which is best practice, recommends that you continually gather evidence over a period of at least 12 months in order to prove your industry currency.
Additionally, schedule a renewal course with Upskills QLD a few months prior to your accreditation cards expiring. That way you insure that you can effectively stay licensed for that particular activity.
