What is the EUSR SHEA Telecommunications Open Course?

Open courses are face-to-face with a trainer at a training venue. They are available for anyone to book either online or by phone.

SHEA Telecommunications Courses (Safety, Health, & Environmental Awareness) are designed to give those in the telecoms industry the knowledge and skills to work to a good standard of health and safety in line with HSE guidelines. From this course, you will gain a EUSR CSCS partner card, which will prove you have the level of health and safety knowledge necessary to access operational sites within the telecoms industry, whether you are an operative, a supervisor, or management, needing access on a temporary or permanent basis.

You study a total of 7 modules, 6 are core modules, which are covered in all SHEA courses, and 1 module that is specific to the UK telecoms industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about EUSR training courses.

How do I get a replacement EUSR card?

All new EUSR registrations are now issued with a virtual card instead of the previous plastic card. Virtual cards mean you can never forget or lose your card. To access the virtual card, all you need is a smartphone or tablet and to download the Vircarda app.

How long does it take for me to get a EUSR card?

Once you have completed your course, the training school will submit your registration application. Your certificate can be with you in as little as a week, but the average time frame is usually 4 weeks.

What happens if I fail the EUSR assessment?

Depending on the timing of your course on the day, you may be offered a resit of the module assessments on the same day. However, it is up to the training school to decide if a resit would be appropriate or whether you would be required to take the course again.
