To assist PCBU’s with better ensuring they are complying with their Health and Safety at Work Act obligations, please click here regarding T&MNZ’s recommendations for the future of TTM training. As such, T&MNZ recommends the following training pathway for anyone new to TTM:

Even though they are no longer reported to Waka Kotahi NZTA or NZQA and have no warrant or unit standard, we continue to run STMS Refresher Workshops for anyone whose STMS warrant is running out to keep their knowledge current within the TTM framework.

We run Inspector Workshops for any person wishing to conduct inspection activities and who does not need to hold other TTM unit standards, and can also provide STMS Mobile -NP Workshops and STMS Mobile Mentoring and Practical Assessments for those who require it.

There are a few things to note regarding the training we provide:
• Catering is NOT provided for any of our training.
• When participating in any workshop containing a classroom component, participants should bring a pen, some paper, and photo ID.
• For any of our workshops containing assessments in a live lane (i.e. TTM Worker, Inspector, and any mentoring or practical assessments), appropriate PPE is required. This consists of Safety Glasses, Safety Helmet, Cut-resistant Safety Gloves, Safety Boots, and High Visibility Garment - TTMCW17 (Orange) for TTM Worker and Inspector Workshops, or standard High Visibility STMS garment for any STMS assessment.

Please be aware, PPE is NOT part of the pricing of our training and is the responsibility of the course bookers and/or participants.
