Today’s leadership and in particular road traffic safety management is entering a future which is characterized by radical change. It is fast moving, integrated and extremely complex. It is complicated by immense volatility, sensitivity and international turmoil. In order to understand the above it is therefore necessary to have a new, innovative and competitive approach in dealing with an increasing dynamic environment.
The increased knowledge and skills required by supervisors and managers in the traffic environment and operational activities which consume supervisors’ and managers’ attention requires officials to think differently from the past train of thought and become more creative. It also requires well developed plans to monitor and evaluate the performance of the organisation and the organisation’s processes. Road traffic law enforcement constitutes one aspect in a series of essential services currently being rendered on rural and urban roads. As traffic volumes increase significantly year upon year and Africa becomes a sought after tourist destination and host for international events, the demand for this essential service is envisaged to grow astronomically.
This qualification is intended to meet the needs of any first line managers, supervisors and section heads in the road traffic law
enforcement sector and within any other sector of an organisation of any nature.
