NRSWA courses are key for anyone involved in roadworks, street works, or utilities maintenance within the UK.
These courses cover all essential aspects mandated by the New Roads and Street Works Act, including excavation, reinstatement, and safety protocols.
Completing an NRSWA course will earn you your NRSWA card, also known as a Street Works ticket, which is valid for 5 years, and means you can legally work on footpaths and highways on behalf of a utilities company.
