If you’re working in construction, road maintenance, or utilities in South Australia, you’ve probably heard about the TMI 1 course. Whether your employer asked you to get certified or you’re looking to boost your career, one of the first questions people ask is — how much does it cost?
In this blog, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the TMI 1 course in Adelaide — including the price, what’s included, how long it takes, and where you can do it.
What Is the TMI 1 Course?
The TMI 1, officially known as the RIISS00060 skill set, stands for Traffic Management Implementer Level 1. It is an Austroads-approved course that trains workers to safely implement traffic management plans on urban streets and low volume rural roads.
This course is a legal requirement if you want to work as a traffic controller or traffic management implementer on South Australian roads. Once you complete it, you receive a Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) ID card issued by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport South Australia — which is your ticket to work legally on job sites.
How Much Does the TMI 1 Course Cost in Adelaide?
The current price for the TMI 1 course in Adelaide at One Stop Training Solutions is $795.00.
This fee covers your 2-day face-to-face classroom training. It is a straightforward, one-time payment with no hidden surprises.
What Do You Get for $795?
Here’s what is included when you enrol:
Two Days of Classroom Training
The course runs over two full days (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM). You’ll learn everything from setting out traffic guidance schemes to understanding risk management on worksites.
Nationally Recognised Units of Competency
The training covers four nationally recognised units:
- RIIWHS302E – Implement traffic management plans
- RIIRIS301E – Apply risk management processes
- RIIWHS303 – Position, set up and program portable traffic control devices
- RIICOM201E – Communicate in the workplace
Statement of Attainment
Upon completing all requirements, you receive a Statement of Attainment from One Stop Training Solutions.
TTM ID Card
You’ll also receive your official Temporary Traffic Management ID card from the Department for Infrastructure and Transport South Australia — the document you need to legally work on roads in SA.
Is There Anything Extra After the Classroom Training?
Yes — and this is important to understand before you enrol. The traffic management implementer course doesn’t end in the classroom. After your two days of face-to-face learning, you must complete practical on-site observations to achieve full competency.
Here’s what the practical component involves:
- You need to complete two workplace observation activities
- These must be done on Temporary Traffic Management Category 1 roads
- You have 6 months from your classroom training to finish them
- After the two observations, a qualified trainer will conduct a final assessment (a third observation)
- In total, you need to demonstrate three different traffic management setups
If you’re already employed in the field, these observations can be done at your workplace. If not, One Stop Training Solutions can help arrange the practical component for you.
Who Should Do This Course?
The traffic control training in Adelaide through the TMI 1 course is ideal for:
- Construction workers who need to manage traffic around job sites
- Road maintenance crew members
- Utility workers (NBN, water, gas, electricity)
- Anyone who needs a TTM ID card to work on South Australian roads
- People looking to start a career in traffic management
What Are the Entry Requirements?
Before enrolling, make sure you meet the following:
- You must be 16 years or older
- You need a valid photo ID (driver’s licence or passport)
