The NRSWA Operative Streetworks Course in Wakefield was designed to provide people with the training and certification they need to pursue a career in UK roadwork. If you are unsure whether you qualify as an operative, simply ask yourself the following: "Does my job call for me to perform any type of physical labour?" That applies to carpenters and electricians as much as it does to day labourers. If the answer is "yes", you are an operative.
NRSWA Operative Streetworks Course in Wakefield is a 1-day course divided into morning and afternoon classes. During the morning session, we cover the hows and whys of the operative's job. While during the afternoon, participants have a chance to work with relevant equipment on a mock jobsite.
At the end of the day, there is a short exam comprising 20 multiple-choice questions. You must answer at least 16 of 20 questions correctly to receive certification. If you pass the test, certification will be issued by one of the following:
- City & Guilds
- The Certification and Assessment Board for the Water Industry (CABWI)
- The Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA)
- Lantra
Certification will be valid for 5 years from the date of issue. If you fail the test, you can take the course over.
