Steps

  1. Review ATSSA's Roadway Safety Training & Certifications page (atssa.com/training-certification)
  2. Confirm Traffic Control Technician (TCT) is the entry-level course for field installation/removal of temporary traffic control devices
  3. Confirm Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) builds on TCT for staff designing, setting up, and maintaining temporary traffic control in a work zone
  4. Confirm Flagger Instructor Training (FIT) requires successful completion of TCT and TCS first, and yields a 4-year instructor certification once completed
  5. Check ATSSA's Corporate Training Program option if the goal is delivering ATSSA-curriculum training in-house at scale rather than certifying a single instructor
