Richard Fitter, Entran Ltd

Richard is a Director of Entran Ltd, an independent firm of environmental and transportation consultants. He has some 20 years experience in a diverse range of highway and transport engineering. His career has centred mostly on Highway and Transport Development Planning in both the public and private sectors. He has experience in devising transport strategies for major town expansion projects, urban regeneration initiatives and speculative mixed-use development schemes.

Richard's work includes the preparation of movement strategies, travel plans and transport assessments as well as junction modelling, access design and transport sustainability assessments.

Phil Cook, TMS Consultancy

Phil is a Director of TMS, specialising in :

• Developing and delivering training courses
• Transport, traffic management and road safety policy and practice
• Undertaking AIP investigations, road safety audits and NMU/Accessibility/Cycle audits.

Phil is generally supportive of the many of the principles of MfS but has some serious concerns about road safety aspects of the guidance and the increasing tendency to seek to apply the guidance outside the context of its intended purpose - lightly trafficked residential streets.

Stuart Reid, MVA Consultancy

Stuart Reid is MVA Consultancy's Director of Sustainable Transport. He has contributed to a wide range of research and technical guidance on planning for sustainable transport modes, including developing DMRB's standard for Non-motorised User Audit. He was a contributing author to the Manual for Streets and led the development of the evidence-base behind MfS's recommendations. He is currently leading research for DfT on topics such as Shared Space Schemes and the effectiveness of measures to increase cycle safety and is contributing to the forthcoming 'Manual for High Streets'.

Stuart is involved in this debate because he believes that our current approach to street design is suppressing sustainable transport and making our communities less livable. This debate is important because it is a chance to separate myth from fact.

Employers can be confident that holders of the IHE Professional Certificate are qualified practitioners.

The training programme has been developed by TMS Consultancy in partnership with the Southern and Eastern Development Control Forum and IHE. A unique feature of the course is that learning is assessed through completion of four assignments.

To go on and gain the full IHE Professional Certificate, candidates present their assignments or a portfolio of work at an interview carried out by two assessors who measure them against the development control Statements of Competence. Experienced practitioners can apply direct for the Professional Certificate by compiling a portfolio of documents produced at work to present at an interview.

The training consists of a six day residential course. There are two sessions, 2-3 months apart, each three days in duration, with associated assignments. Students' line managers are expected to mentor and actively support their staff attending this course. They are welcome to attend at a discounted daily rate to assist the training.
