NRSWA Street Works

CTD provides training and assessments for operatives and supervisors working on the highways. Reassessment courses are also available to renew existing qualifications.

NRSWA Street Works Re–assessments

This course is designed for operatives and supervisors who have experience of working on the highways and who already hold a current SWQR card that requires renewing. It consists of classroom-based refresher training, prior to assessments for each unit held on the candidate’s original Street Works card. Each unit is assessed separately with a multiple-choice test. Duration of the course and price is dependent on the number of units to be reassessed.

You can renew your qualification up to 5 years after its expiry date. However, you are not covered to work on the highways without an in-date Street Works card.

You can reassess up to one year in advance of expiry and the new card will show your current expiry date plus 5 years.
