SWQR Card Renewal
Has your SWQR card recently expired? Or is it about to run out? If so, you’ll need to undergo SWQR card renewal if you want to continue working within streetworks legally.
At CPTS, we offer the NRSWA streetworks operative and supervisor reassessment course, providing everything needed to keep your qualifications current. It must be taken every 5 years if you want to continue working.
Please note that this course is only suitable for individuals who currently hold or have recently held an SWQR card. If you’ve not held a card of this type, you’ll instead need to complete our NRSWA operative course or streetworks supervisor course.

What Will You Learn During SWQR Card Renewal?
What you learn during the streetworks ticket renewal course depends on whether you’re an operative or a supervisor.
Operative NRSWA Renewal:
- Locating and avoiding underground obstructions
- Signing, lighting, and guarding
- Highway excavations
- Reinstatement of various materials
Supervisor NRSWA Renewal:
- Monitoring all activities carried out by operatives
- Ensuring legal compliance of streetworks
- Compliance with health and safety standards
Regardless of whether you’re an operative or supervisor, the SWQR renewal course will consist of a revision of topics, followed by an assessment. Both sections will take a day each, so the course is 2 days long.
Upon completion, you’ll receive your new SWQR card, which will be valid for another 5 years. This is issued by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).
Who Needs NRSWA Card Renewal?
A streetworks card lasts for 5 years. Once this 5-year period has passed, you’ll need to undergo reassessment to gain another card. If you fail to undergo this reassessment, you will not legally be allowed to work in streetworks.
Quite simply, anyone involved in streetworks needs to have the correct ticket. This not only includes the operators actually working on the road, but also anyone supervising them.
If you’re unsure whether your role requires an NRSWA ticket, please get in touch today, and we’ll discuss the requirements with you.
