129 Swarco Traffic is sponsoring the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) Professional Certificate in Traffic Signal Control, a two-part course that enhances the knowledge and understanding of traffic control schemes.

The sponsorship is helping cut the cost for delegates to attend the course, to ensure more within the industry are able to attend. Part one, held between 22 and 23 March, will provide delegates with a broader knowledge and general understanding of the sector, while part two, held on 9 and 10 May, will give delegates the technical knowledge they require for quality installations and maintenance.

At the end of the course, delegates will have one year to complete the Professional Certificate, applying the knowledge acquired to pass key competencies such as risk assessment, site acceptance, safety audit, electrical design consideration and signal specification and installation. The assignments will be structured to allow candidates to submit this as a Technical Report in their submission towards Engineering Council Professional Registration, i.e., incorporated Engineer IEng or Engineering Technician EngTech.
