Streetworks Reassessment
NRSWA Streetworks full or single unit reassessments
Who is the course for
The London full or single unit reassessments are for anyone that wishes to continue to work on the roads, and whose current qualifications are due to or have recently expired. The course is generally designed for those with streetworks experience.
We strongly suggest that if your NRSWA card is going to expire within the next 6 months that you do not wait until the last minute to sign up for a reassessment. After all, if you wait and then miss the expiry date you will be unable to continue performing highway work legally until you come in for reassessment.
Also, a common misconception is that if one undergoes reassessment with up to 6 months remaining on their current card that they will lose those months of accreditation. Not true. Whatever time is left on your current card will simply be added to the valid length of the new card. So, for example, if you undergo reassessment with 6 months left on your current card the new card will be good for 5 years and 6 months.

Do I have to choose reassessment?
Any Operative or Supervisor facing the expiry of their NRSWA Card may choose either reassessment or full assessment. Oftentimes those who have only worked sporadically on highways during the previous 5 years will choose to sign up for a full assessment. Whereby a reassessment comprises a simple refresher course and a 20 question exam, assessment entails retaking the practical and theoretical courses you took to get the NRSWA Card the first time around.
What happens to my old NRSWA Card?
If you take the NRSWA Reassessment in London with significant time still left on your old NRSWA Card you have the option of keeping it until it expires, at which time a new card will be issued that shows any new units along with any unexpired units from the last card. If different units of yours have different expiry dates these different dates will all be listed on the new card.
