Everyone involved in a construction work zone project should have a basic knowledge of temporary traffic control that allows them to assist in installing traffic control devices, monitoring their performance, and recognizing deficiencies during the course of a project.

The TCT course is an introduction to temporary traffic control in work zones for individuals who work in the field installing and removing traffic control devices. The course provides concepts, techniques, and practice exercises in the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices.

 Previous experience in temporary traffic control is not required for this course.

The TCS course is designed to train those who will be actively involved in designing or creating and maintaining temporary traffic control in a work zone. It moves from the concepts and techniques taught in the Traffic Control Technician (TCT) course to the implementation of traffic control plans and techniques for installation and removal. Students are taught how to read and interpret plans and specifications and implement them in the field.

Workshops included in the course are designed to provide real world examples in designing temporary traffic control setups and recognizing, analyzing and correcting deficiencies. An additional, vital objective of this course is teaching students the skills necessary to become an effective supervisor, capable of leading a team in the field.

Students are required to complete a written exam. A grade of 80% or greater is considered passing. A student receiving a passing grade of 80% or better will receive an attendance certificate.

A student receiving less than 80% on the final exam can take a make-up exam for an additional fee.  Contact [email protected] for more information. If a student fails the final and make up exam they must re-take the full course. **This does not include the cost of ATSSA Certification**
