We take great pride in our after care and all students will take with them personal contact details of our Traffic Marshall and banksman team for further support and advice whenever you need it. We also have several companies that actively recruit our students.

What’s the different between a Vehicle Banksman and a Traffic Marshal?
Vehicle Banksman and Traffic Marshal are two terms that describe the same thing. The term traffic marshal has largely replaced the more traditional term of Banksman reflecting the more diverse duties a traffic marshal may undertake in the public arena such as events, parking and security.

Can we still use Banksman to reverse vehicles?
Yes, but only if they are properly trained and authorised to do so. They must complete an appropriate traffic marshal course.

What do I need to bring with me?
For the Practical we advise you bring SAFETY SHOES. We will supply you with A HARD HAT and a High Visibility jacket for the training. The practical session takes place outside, delegates should bring suitable protective clothing. Candidates must also bring with them photographic ID, their photograph will be taken to produce their ID card, we must be able to verify who they are.

Can I direct Plant Machinery using this training?
Yes, given a suitable risk assessment is conducted in conjunction with a trained and certified plant operator factoring risks such as manoeuvring with a boom or while the Plant Machine is loaded.

If training is completed using a LGV, does this mean the certification is restricted to only Banking LGVs?
Whether candidates complete Vehicle Banksman training using a normal road car, a heavy goods vehicle or plant machinery, the role and responsibilities of the Vehicle Banksman remain the same.

Certification and Individual Photo ID Card:
Our charges include the cost of official certification including personal Identity Cards.
