The Traffic Controller course (RIISS00054) is for workers who direct traffic using a stop/slow bat and other approved traffic-control devices.
The Implement Traffic Control Plans course (RIISS00055) is for workers who implement traffic management plans at the worksite, including setting up, monitoring and closing down traffic-control devices. SafeWork NSW specifically notes that the Traffic Controller course does not qualify you to set up or work with traffic control plans.
Traffic Control Licences offers both courses and a Combo Course for students who want both skill sets.
