NRSWA Streetworks Course London

NRSWA London training courses for Operatives, Supervisors, Unit O1/S1 or Reassessments

To ensure all work on roads and infrastructure in the UK is carried out to a safe and high standard, roadworkers must undertake the NRSWA Streetworks course for operatives or supervisors covering the units relevant to their work. 

After successfully completing the NRSWA course the operative or supervisor will have the skills to carry out Streetworks to the standards required by the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. 

Accreditation
After successful completion of the NRSWA training course London candidates will be registered with CABWI, SQA, City&Guilds or the relevant awarding body and will receive certification. 

They will also be registered on the Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR) and will receive  a physical SWQR photo ID card listing all units the candidate is qualified in. 

Qualifications last 5 years, and will need to be reassessed every 5 years through a NRSWA Streetworks reassessment. 

Who needs a NRSWA course?
Anyone who is working on the local authority roads or supervising the works on these roads requires the SWQR card with the units relevant to the work they are doing. The works can include excavation, backfill, reinstatement, signing, guarding and using tarmac materials. 

NRSWA Course Structure
The NRSWA Streetworks course London is generally completed through a combination of practical assessments and classroom learning and a short online exam for each unit, led by one of our highly experienced and friendly trainers. 

The NRSWA 1991 act requires that the qualifications held must be appropriate for the work being carried out, therefore you do not necessarily need to hold all units. 

As a result, we offer the following NRSWA London courses: full 5 day operative, full 5 day supervisor, single unit, alongside reassessments. 

And if you need anything tailored to you, do not hesitate to reach out to us with your requirements, call us today on 0333 301 0226.

There are no beginner units. Each unit delivers something different. If you have no experience, there are books you can read prior to a course or if you can get some practical work experience with a company that would benefit you greatly.
