NRSWA - New Roads & Street Works Training - Operative Re-assessment

Introduction
With effect from 6 April 2011 it is mandatory for anyone whose street works licence (SWQR card/ticket) is expiring to pass a multiple choice question paper for each unit they want to be re-registered for before a new card will be issued by SWQR. Candidates can re-apply from 6 months before their SWQR card is due to expire up to 6 months after it has expired.

Programme Details
This is a two Day course covering all units. Day one provides refresher training and revision exercises. Day two consists of multiple choice exam papers for each of the Units that are required to be re-registered.

As the exams are ‘open book’ candidates are allowed the following documents for reference whilst completing the exams:
- 1 - Specification for the Reinstatement Openings in Roads/Highways, Approved Code of Practice
- 2 - Safety at Street Works and Road Works, Approved Code of Practice (Department for Transport)
- 3 - An Introduction to Vehicle Actuated Portable Traffic Signals (Department for Transport)
- 4 - Avoiding Danger from Underground Services HSG 47 (Health and Safety Executive)
- 5 - Volume 1: NJUG Guidelines On The Positioning And Colour Coding Of Underground Utilities’ Apparatus (National Joint Utilities Group)
- 6 - Roadworks Theory and Practice
- 7 - Specification for Highway Works, Series 1000
We will provide reference materials for use during the refresher training and clean copies of these documents for the examination day, however we would strongly advise candidates to re-familiarise themselves with these documents prior to attending their course.

As these exams have to be completed under timed examination conditions, please contact us prior to booking if any of your staff have special needs or learning difficulties as further information may be applicable to these candidates.

Reassessment Options
There are 16 street works units in total – 8 operative units and 7 supervisor units. Unit 001 is universal to operatives and supervisors. The 16 units can be combined to make up 12 full qualifications (6 operatives qualifications and 6 supervisor qualifications). A breakdown of this is shown below. In order to obtain a Street Works ID card, at least one full qualification must be gained.
