Lantra have announced that the Sector Scheme Advisory Committee for Sector Scheme 12 (Temporary Traffic Management) will be removing the 6 month period of “Grace” for renewing qualifications with effect from 1st April 2026.
This means that it is necessary to arrange any refresher training to take place in advance of a qualification’s expiry date, ideally in the last 6 months of the 5 year validity as doing this ensures that the expiry anniversary date will not change. It is acceptable to renew more than 6 months in advance but this will lead to an effective “loss” in terms of the 5 year life of the qualification as the new qualification would run from the refresher date rather than the existing expiry date.
Failure to renew TM qualifications in advance of their expiry will mean that the full Training and Assessment programme will need to be repeated.
If you need to arrange refresher training for your Sector Scheme 12 qualified operatives and staff please contact us at training@tqexel.co.uk and a member of the team will be pleased to assist.
