Industry-Aligned CPCS Training
Our training follows the official CPCS A73 standards, ensuring every candidate learns the correct signalling systems, communication skills, and safety procedures required on modern construction sites. By the end of the course, you will be equipped with everything needed to pass the CPCS theory and practical tests.
Experienced Instructors
The course is delivered by instructors who have years of experience managing plant operations and vehicle marshalling on high-risk construction sites. Their practical insights, scenario-based demonstrations, and hands-on guidance make the learning experience clear, relevant, and confidence-boosting.
Focus on Safety
Busy worksites are among the highest-risk environments in the UK. With over 60 annual fatalities linked to workplace vehicles, effective marshalling is essential. This training empowers candidates to prevent collisions, protect pedestrians, and manage vehicle flow using approved CPCS signalling techniques.
Multiple Applications
The skills gained from the traffic marshall course in London extend far beyond construction environments. They are widely used in event management, car parks, logistics hubs, loading bays, and security operations where safe vehicle movement is essential.
Benefits of Completing the CPCS Traffic Marshall A73 Course
The benefits include:
Improved Site Safety
By understanding safe systems of work, blind-spot risks, and correct signalling, you help create a safer workplace. Your training directly contributes to preventing injuries and maintaining smooth vehicle operations in high-traffic areas.
Increased Employability & Compliance
Many construction companies, event venues, and logistics environments now require staff to be formally trained as traffic marshals. Completing the CPCS Traffic Marshall A73 course ensures you meet safety requirements and stand out to employers.
