Why should I take this course?

Supervisors and operatives who monitor the work on the roadways and highways should attend the course.

The course will ensure that you know how to work under the New Roads and Street Works Act. By understanding the legislation, you will work competently, legally and lead your team effectively.

By attending the course, you will also make the street works site a safer place. In addition, you will know what equipment you need for the job and how to use it safely, therefore reducing accident and costly delays on site.

NRSWA Supervisor Training entry requirements

Without this, you may not pick up vital safety information on the course or communicate appropriately on a real-life site.

We can deliver the course at your site, subject to approval by the awarding body.

In-house Courses

We currently only offer the New Roads and Street Works for Supervisors as an in-house course in the classroom. We work with a variety of NRSWA providers across the UK who deliver the course on our behalf.  We can arrange the course for a maximum of 8 delegates per tutor.

We price each in-house course on a case-by-case basis; we consider the course location and number of delegates for each quote. For a  quote, complete the in-house training enquiry form on this page.

Further development

Successful completion of the NRSWA Training course will result in you gaining a City & Guild or CABWI (location dependent) Street Works Card. The card is valid for five years. To renew, you will need to attend a 2-day requalification course.

If you work in a physical role, you may want to complete the NRSWA Operative course instead?  You will learn all the aspects needed to work safely on the street works site.

You can also attend individual units on their own such as CAT & Genny / Cable Avoidance and Signing, Lighting and Guarding. Please note you can attend these units as part of the NRSWA course or individually under 3B’s accreditation.
