What is a NRSWA Card?
Those who successfully complete the NRSWA course unit(s) will receive a Certificate of Competence which will need to be sent to the SWQR. They will then provide a plastic photo identification card that shows the qualification for each NRSWA unit. This is valid for 5 years.
What is SWQR?
Street Works Qualification Register – this holds the details of all NRSWA trained and qualified Supervisors and Operatives. It works closely with a number of awarding bodies including City & Guilds, LANTRA and SQA to ensure that every qualified individual has a durable card that can be produced on site if necessary, to prove their qualified status.
What is a NRSWA Reassessment?
You will need to undertake either an Operative or Supervisor Reassessment course when your card is due to expire. Candidates who let their card lapse will need to retake the full NRSWA training course(s) of their desired specialism in order to regain their certificate and card.
