Outcome / progression
As the TTMBC is a foundation trainee course it is expected that as part of your career progression that you move on to complete one of the other 12ABCD operative courses and not retake the TTMBC.
The NHSS 12AB Operative course, for working on static TTM on motorways and high speed dual carriageways, cannot be taken until 3 months after TTMBC is completed, as the scheme requires 3 months of on-the-job experience first. The NHSS 12C Operative course, for mobile lane closures, can be taken immediately after TTMBC with no other prerequisites. The NHSS 12D T1/T2 course, for single carriageway urban and rural roads, can be taken immediately after TTMBC with no other prerequisites. The NHSS 12 IPV course, for use of Impact Protection Vehicles, can be taken immediately after TTMBC but has varied assessment rules.
