What is the EUSR SHEA Telecommunications Virtual Course?

Virtual courses are an online, trainer-lead course on Zoom. You can attend from the comfort of your own home or workplace, with activities designed specifically for the virtual platform. These courses are available for anyone to book 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.

How Do Virtual Courses Work?

You will receive a zoom link by email a few days before your course starts. On the first day of your course, use the link to join the group from anywhere using a laptop, computer, or tablet. Our virtual courses are trainer-led, and your course is fully interactive. You will be involved in activities and discussions with the trainer and other delegates on Zoom. The training team are able to organise a Zoom call to test your equipment before the course date, get in contact with us to arrange a convenient time.

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.
