STMS 2/3 - Refresher Practising

On every 2nd application (6 years) a already-qualified Level 2/3 STMS must undertake a mandatory “on road Re-Assessment”.

This Level 2/3 Practical on-road Re-Assessment involves installing, maintaining and removing Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) on Level 2 and Level 3 Roads. The assessment involves the conduct of various duties associated with being an STMS. This ranges from inductions to TMP review to installation of Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) in a practical setting.

Appropriate qualified Level 2/3 STMS candidates can undertake this re-assessment process at any time simply by registering under the purpose-built Traffic Management Academy Practical Re-Assessment Online Portal. The re-assessment portal was designed to upload all required modules in a PDF format at least 5-10 working days prior to the approved re-assessment date. It allows for drag and drop functions of the PDF documents and since this is a life system, all work submitted can be viewed immediate by the Assessor to allow for grading and feedback to the applicant of work submitted.

NZTA Pre-Requisite to conduct a Level 2/3 Practical On-Road Re-Assessment

• Candidates must have a current Level 2/3 STMS qualification that has not expired (or not for more than 12-months).

Modules to Complete for a Level 2/3 STMS Practical Re-Assessment (Already hold this qualification previously)

• The STMS 2/3 Practical Re-Assessment requirements include one ‘module’.
• All documentation must be uploaded through the purpose built Traffic Management Academy Assessment Online Portal at least 5 days prior to the actual confirmed assessment date.

Module 1 – Conduct a Level 2 or 3 closure (on-road) observed by the assessor. The candidate must undertake a Level 2 or 3 closure using an approved TMP whilst observed by the assessor. An already-qualified Level 2/3 STMS must be present within the crew also to act as the qualified person, however the closure is managed and controlled by the candidate.

Each applicant would need to register on the STMS L2-L3 Practical Re-Assessment Online Portal themselves, as they will be required to choose a user id and password to allow them to log into this system under their own name, and upload their required documents in PDF format at least 5 days prior to the actual Assessment date.
