Guidance on Re-registration
Please note that this website is not responsible for process
applications, enquiries must be made to SWQA at the address
given below.
The initial
registration of supervisor and operative qualifications with
the National Streetworks Qualifications Register (maintained
by the Scottish Qualifications Authority, SQA) is valid for
5 years from the date of entry onto the register. There is a
general requirement that re-registration is carried out
within 3 months of the expiry date shown on the current
issued card. The expiry date may change when further
qualifications are added or the card has been re-issued due
to loss or damage.
Please note
holders of only Units 001 Location and Avoidance of
Underground Services and 002 or 010 for Signing, Lighting
and Guarding will not be able to apply for a streetworks ID
card without additional units to make a full qualification.
The main purpose
of the Register is to maintain the national database of
supervisors and operatives currently practicing streetworks,
and issue a valid identity card that may be requested by
authorised persons or organisations, such as highway and
streetworks inspectors.
Lost Cards
In the event of
a card being lost or stolen, the Streetworks Registrar
should be notified immediately to enable the card to be
cancelled and a new card issued on payment of the
appropriate fee.
There is
currently no requirement to carry out further
training or assessment in connection with the
re-registration process.
