NRSWA Operative Streetworks Course near Wandsworth

Anyone who performs any type of physical labour on a roadwork construction site (including the operation of heavy machinery) is considered an operator and must obtain proper certification. Those who believe they may be able to slide by without certification are, frankly, kidding themselves. No reputable construction company will hire you without it. If you need to obtain certification the NRSWA Operatives Streetworks course in Wandsworth is where you get it.

Back in the day construction companies could put just about anyone - qualified or not - to work on road construction projects. Those days ended in 1991 with the passage of the New Roads and Streetworks Act. 
 
This piece of legislation stipulated that everyone performing work on UK roads needed to be trained and certified, and provided a mechanism for obtaining that certification. Almost 35 years later the success of the NRSWA programme is undeniable with accidents on road construction sites greatly reduced and the quality of work at an all-time high. 
The NRSWA Operative Streetworks course in Wandsworth is a 1-day course comprising morning and afternoon sessions. The course covers best practices and guidelines for working on roadways with an emphasis on SLG (signing, lighting, guarding), excavation, reinstatement and more. 
 
At the end of the day, there will be a multiple-choice exam comprising 20 questions. You must answer at least 16 of the 20 correctly. If you do certification will be issued by: 

  • Lantra
  • City & Guilds
  • The Certification and Assessment Board for the Water Industry (CABWI)
  • Or The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) 
Should you fail the test for any reason you can take the course again, but you'll need to wait at least 48 hours before registering again. You will also need to pay the registration fee a second time.

Yes, you can carry out all the physical works covered by your units. However you need to have a streetworks supervisor assigned to the site with the equivalent supervisor units. 

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. 
  
If you require supervisor units - while the operative units are not compulsory – gaining the operatives units first and doing the physical works can be of help.
