LANTRA 12D
Lantra is the leading provider of training and qualifications for land-based industries across the UK and Ireland. They are recognised by Highways England, Transport Northern Ireland, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the Welsh Assembly and Transport Scotland. Lantra also work closely with the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) to provide their smartcard schemes, allowing candidates to have readily available access to their cards from any device that can access the internet.
Their training courses support the nationally recognised National Highway Sector Schemes (NHSS). These are quality management systems used by National Highways, who are responsible for 4% of the maintenance of the UK’s roads. The remaining percentage are the responsibility of local authorities, many of which do also accept and adopt the schemes. The schemes are produced as complimentary standards to ISO 9001 (2015) for those working on UK roads, providing a more thorough set of requirements and interpretations for the maintenance, construction and inspection of UK roads.
The course has a strong emphasis on health and safety, work competence and high standards of practice. LANTRA courses are largely supplemental and specific to the work that is required. Completion of TTMBC, T1 and T2 classrooms and assessments, focussed on Basic Principles, Moving Works and Static Works on Single Carriageways, is required to hold most further units. Further units do look at other principles, such as Static Works on Dual Carriageways, Working in a Convoy, Multiphase Traffic Lights, RLTMO Training and Manager/Client Officer Training.

Introduction
Welcome to the LANTRA accredited National Highways Sector Scheme (NHSS) 12D course! This in-depth training program is designed to provide you with a deep and focussed understanding of the NHSS and the crucial skills and legislation required for carrying out works on rural or urban roads as a Traffic Management Operative (TMO).
Throughout this course, you will learn how to safely and effectively prepare, implement and remove Temporary Traffic Management measures - including moving works, minor short duration works, and static works on single carriageways - with options to progress to advanced learning – including works on dual carriageways, convoy working, multiphase traffic lights and becoming a registered lead Traffic Management operative (RLTMO). An additional module is also available as a separate route for managers and client officers, who do not handle works directly.
The course employs a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical implementation under assessment conditions to ensure that you are outfitted with the complete skillset to undertake Temporary Traffic Management in accordance with the NHSS documents. This LANTRA course will prepare you to minimise public disruption, ensure safety for yourself and the public and complete works on UK roads within the code of operations outlined within the Sector Scheme document 12D.
With the Lantra-accredited NHSS 12D Course, you are making an investment in your proficiency within the critical, yet broad, field of highway operations. We look forward to guiding you through this comprehensive learning experience.

Who Should Attend
The LANTRA 12D course is designed to allow for the tailoring of modules taken to fit around your roles and responsibilities. This course is designed for those involved with the setup, maintenance and removal of temporary Traffic Management equipment, allowing the course to be relevant to a range of professions. If you are in, or looking to be in, one of these roles in the future, this course may prove to be an invaluable resource to help solidify your industry understanding:
Traffic Management Operatives: These are the workers on the ground who will be directly involved in installing, maintaining, and removing Traffic Management devices and systems. This course is an essential tool in the belt of anyone looking to enter into the profession, as well as for those who are required to add additional modules to their existing LANTRA card.
Traffic Management Supervisors: For those who are looking to take the step into being a Lead Traffic Management Operative, the M6 module of the LANTRA 12D course is of extreme importance. For those looking to supervise works without the intent to perform the setup, maintenance or removal, then the LANTRA 12D T7 stand-alone module is also of particular interest.
Road Safety Inspectors: Those responsible for conducting safety audits and inspections of Traffic Management setups can benefit from understanding the standards and practices taught in these courses. Our experienced trainers and assessors have years of field experience to help improve your insight into the scheme and any modern changes to the legislation.
Local Authority Personnel: For individuals working within local authorities who interact with Traffic Management within their jurisdiction should be well-versed in the standards and practices of Traffic Management. This course will bring you up to date on the rules and regulations set out by the 12D scheme.
As the LANTRA course is modular, those seeking to book onto the course will be able to choose units that suit their current needs, with the ability to gain further modules as and when needed for upcoming contracts, or when you feel that your career needs that boost to the next level.
