Streetworks Reassessment

Who is the course for
The Nottingham 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. If you need more support with your refresher please contact us. 

If you are concerned that by undergoing NRSWA Reassesment in Nottingham with as many as 6 months left on your card that the new 5 years will commence the day you successfully completed reassessment, not to worry. Any time remaining on your current card will be carried over to the new card. So if you took the refresher course with 4 months remaining on your current card the new card will be valid for 5 years and 4 months or whatever the case. 

 

That said, we strongly advise those who have entered the 6-month reassessment window to undergo reassessment as soon as possible. If you put it off to the last minute there is always a chance you will miss the expiry date and lose your ability to legally perform highway work. Even if you are not aware that has happened your insurance company will be and they will likely revoke your coverage until you sit for reassessment. 

Delivery
At the Nottingham NRSWA centre you will have to complete a timed online exam for each Streetworks unit you are being refreshed on. For a full reassessment it will take up to 2 days and you can expect to go straight to test only. For single unit reassessments at the Nottingham centre these can be completed in half a day. 

Each exam comprises 20 multiple choice questions related to the unit you are testing for. You will have 45 minutes to complete these 20 questions and in order to pass you will need to answer 80% of the questions correctly (16 out of 20). 

Outcome
After successful completion of the course you will be awarded a new certificate from the awarding body, from either one of the following; CABWI, SQA, Lantra or City and Guilds. Your refreshed qualification will then be registered on the Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR), and you will receive a new SWQR ID card. 

How long does the qualification last
Your certificate and card are valid for a further 5 years and will show the units you are qualified in to work on the roads. 

Reassessment or assessment?  

If you have not worked steadily over the past 5 years, or it has been a couple of years since your NRSWA Card expired, you can choose reassessment or a full assessment. Some people opt for the full assessment because they are concerned they may have missed out on vital legislative updates related to highway work or that they have forgotten relevant information. But even if you have worked steadily for the past 5 years you can still choose a full assessment package if you so desire. 

 

Do I have to surrender my old NRSWA Card? 

After you successfully complete the NRSWA Reassesment Nottingham you will be given the option of keeping your old card until it expires or having a new one issued immediately. If you choose to keep your current card the new one will be issued upon the expiration of your current card and will contain all relevant information regarding your unit qualifications.
