Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. While the NQF Level 6 is the minimum, a specific qualification in Road Traffic or Traffic Management at a higher level is listed as an added advantage and may influence the shortlisting process.
Given the role's scope, the technical exercise typically tests your knowledge of the National Land Transport Act, operational planning for 'stop and check' interventions, and perhaps a simulation of accident reconstruction or incident reporting.
Beyond the NQF Level 6 qualification, you must possess a recognized Traffic Diploma. Additionally, a clean criminal record and a valid driver's license are mandatory 'deal-breakers' for this position.
