CABWI

CABWI is the awarding body for the water and utilities industry and was established in 1991.

CABWI is one of the leading awarding organisations for the Street Works and Street Works Reassessment schemes in excavation and reinstatement in the highway.

The organisation is recognised by Ofqual to award regulated vocational qualifications including New Roads and Street Works (NRSWA) Operatives courses and NRSWA Supervisor courses, as well as the NRSWA Reassessments.

The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 requires every street works site to include at least one qualified operative. By completing the NRSWA training, you can prove your competence and ability to adhere to industry safety procedures.

Other CABWI accredited courses we offer at 3B Training include: CAT and Genny training, which trains operatives to identify where underground cables lay to reduce the risk of cable strikes. Also, Signing, Lighting and Guarding training, which trains operatives how to set out signs, cones, barriers and traffic lights.

Utilities courses created specifically for industry professionals

The CABWI courses offering includes competence-based and knowledge-based qualifications, which have been created in consultation with industry specialists. CABWI qualifications provide recognition of the vocational skills and knowledge for professionals working utilities sector roles.
