What Global Training Services does

Global Training Services (GTS) is a Queensland-based, government Registered Training Organisation (RTO 31884) founded in 2008 that delivers accredited Traffic Control and Traffic Management certification courses. Its course portfolio is built around two nationally recognised units: RIIWHS205E (Control traffic with a stop/slow bat, Traffic Controller Level 1) and RIIWHS302E (Implement Traffic Management Plans, Traffic Management Implementer Level 2), each offered with a corresponding renewal course given that TMI cards and Industry Authority Cards require periodic reissue. GTS is authorised by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to issue TMI cards directly to graduates, and it delivers the practical vocational component (20 supervised on-site hours for Traffic Control; three practical site-setups for TMI) alongside classroom theory.

Operationally, GTS runs five training academies across Queensland — Brisbane (head office and primary training facility), Gold Coast, Mackay, Toowoomba, and Rockhampton — with weekly course cadence in Brisbane and monthly cadence in regional centres. The technology stack is intentionally lean: aXcelerate (third-party SaaS) for student management and enrollment, plus Google/Apple/Facebook OAuth for sign-in and Trustindex for review verification. The company does not publish any proprietary technology, patents, or AI capabilities.

GTS generates revenue almost exclusively from course fees, with no enterprise contracts, no recurring SaaS revenue, and no disclosed funding. Pricing is per course ($250–$499 range across full and refresher courses, plus a $175 practical add-on), with Afterpay available for individual enrolments. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via a self-serve website booking flow, supported by SEO, a blog/guide library, organic social media, and 192 verified Google reviews. Customers are primarily individuals seeking to enter the traffic control industry, with secondary group bookings from construction and infrastructure companies needing certified staff.
