New unit codes
On 6th April 2017 new regulations came into force in England for NRSWA qualifications, for the full regulations visit gov.uk. The changes won’t affect delegates much at all.
The key changes are:
- New unit codes, instead of Units 1 – 9 for your Operative course the codes will be LA (for location & avoidance of underground apparatus) and O1-O8 for the remaining units.
- There is no requirement to hold any particular combination of (non-key) certificates.
- Once it comes time to renew, your old style certificates will be automatically converted to the new style.
- Each certificate will have its own expiry date – there will no longer be a card expiry date.
- You can take a re-assessment course up to 5 years after your certificates have expired – as soon as they expire though you are not qualified to undertake the work.
- The changes will not affect your existing certificates or streetworks cards – they will remain valid until they expire.
