SWQR Important Changes

In October 2021, SWQR adjusted their terms so that all candidates looking to renew their Street Works Qualification must now do so within 3 months of their card expiring.

Previously, cardholders had a 5-year grace period to renew their cards after they became invalid. Now that this has been significantly reduced, we’re reminding our clients to book their NRSWA Refresher Course before their card expires.

The SWQR card obtained from an NRSWA qualification lasts for 5 years. In order for candidates to renew this qualification, they must attend a 2-day refresher course. If your card has been invalid for more than 3 months, you cannot renew it and will instead need to undertake a completely new assessment.
