What is the NHSS 12D M7 course?
The NHSS 12D M7 course prepares delegates with essential knowledge of Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) practices, enabling them to manage and plan TTM schemes for urban and rural roads in compliance with national standards. Developed by Lantra in accordance with National Highway Sector Scheme (NHSS) standards, this course provides individuals with the skills to interpret ‘The Safety at Street Works and Road Works, A Code of Practice (The Red Book)’ and guidance from ‘The Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 8.’
Throughout the course, delegates will gain technical expertise, legal understanding, safety procedures, and practical applications. Additionally, they will showcase knowledge of site risk assessment processes and the National Highway Sector Schemes. This training is designed for supervisors, managers, designers, technical officers, client officers, and others responsible for overseeing TTM installations without physically performing them. Upon completion, delegates will be able to provide technical support, determine the extent of TTM required, and evaluate the suitability of temporary traffic management plans. This course is also known as T7. M7 is the qualification or certification you get from completing the T7 course.
