NRSWA Operative Streetworks Course Wallington
Anyone carrying out physical labour on a roadworks site in Wallington must be certified as an operative, and the NRSWA Operative Streetworks course provides the required qualification.
Operative Certification Required for Physical Labour on Roadworks Sites
If your job requires you to perform any type of physical labour on a roadworks site, you are classified as an operative and must be certified as such. Physical labour in this case could mean anything from installing wires to moving materials from one part of the jobsite to another. The NRSWA Operative Streetworks course in Wallington provides a platform for you to obtain that certification.
Unless you are a streetworks supervisor, chances are you are an operative. And if you are, you will need to undergo proper training and certification. The NRSWA Operative Streetworks course in Wallington is a 1-day course designed to provide that training and certification. The day's instruction is divided into 2 sessions: morning and afternoon, with a lunch break in between.
During the morning session, the instructor will cover the "whys and hows" of the operative's position, and during the afternoon session, participants will have a chance to practice what they've learned on a mock road construction site. At the end of the afternoon session, there will be a short exam comprising 20 multiple-choice questions. You must answer 16 of 20 correctly in order to gain certification.
Those who pass the exam will receive certification from one of the following bodies:
- Lantra
- City & Guilds
- The Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA)
- The Certification and Assessment Board for the Water Industry (CABWI)
That certification will be valid for 5 years from the date of issue.
If, for whatever reason, you fail to pass the exam, you have the option of taking it again. You will, however, have to wait 48 hours before re-registering, and you will need to pay the registration fee again.
If for some reason a person should fail the multiple choice exam it is not the end of the line. They have the option of taking the course over to attempt to gain certification. There are a couple of stipulations, however. The first is that the person must wait at least 48 hours from the time they are notified that they failed to re-register for the course. And the second is that they will need to pay the course registration fee again.
