Your employer arranges it. The contract, permit or authorization for the job sets the requirement, so ask your employer which flagger course is accepted.

The 2018 manual lists a 50 km/h work zone speed on two-lane highways where flagpersons or traffic lights control traffic. Always follow the signs posted at the site.
