As an EUSR (Energy and Utilities Skills Register) accredited training provider, we deliver courses that allow delegates to obtain the EUSR card on completion.
Take a look at some frequently asked questions about EUSR cards below.
EUSR stands for Energy and Utility Skills Register, which is the online register of training for the utilities and energy industries.
An EUSR card is a skills and safety card for people working in the utilities sector, including water, gas, and power. It acts as the utilities industry’s alternative to the CSCS card.
Like a CSCS card, an EUSR card allows access to construction sites. However, it is specifically designed for utility workers, confirming they have completed the correct training to work safely in utility environments.
Once you complete an approved EUSR course, you receive a digital EUSR card as standard. This card shows your qualifications and can be checked by employers on-site. If you prefer, you can also request a physical card for an additional cost.
An EUSR card helps employers quickly verify your training and ensures you meet industry safety standards when working on utility projects.
If you complete our EUSR SHEA Gas training course, this will be valid for five years before needing to refresh your knowledge by completing the course again. This is a one day course suitable for those who need the EUSR card to get on site.

Both the EUSR and CSCS grant you access to a construction site. However, the EUSR card only allows you to carry out your role as a utility worker. Whereas, the CSCS card is for those who need to carry out their role as a construction worker.
CSCS cards are valid for five years, whereas EUSR cards can be valid from three to five years depending on the courses you complete.
