New Roads and Street Works training, also known as NRSWA training is vital training to anyone who is working on the roads. The course is spilt into two sections with delegates either completing the Operative or Supervisor training.
Operative Units
The Operative training course is made up of nine units these are as follows;
001 Location and avoidance of underground apparatus
002 Signing lighting and guarding
003 Excavation in the highway
004 Reinstatement & compaction of backfill materials
005 Reinstatement of the sub base and road base in non bituminous material
006 Reinstatement of cold- lay bituminous materials
007 Reinstatement of hot- lay bitumonous materials
008 Reinstatement of concrete slabs
009 Reinstatement of modular surfaces and concrete footways
The operative training is for delegates who are actually completing the manual work. This is generally a training course which is covered over 5 days, the most popular public courses which are run are units 1-6+ 9. But each training centre does tend to run the course differently, in durations and with the units which they offer.

Supervisor Units
The Supervisor training course is made up of eight units these are as follows;
001 Location and avoidance of underground apparatus
010 Monitoring signing, lighting and guarding
011 Monitoring excavation in the highway
012 Monitoring reinstatement & compaction of backfill layer
013 Monitoring reinstatment of sub and road base in non bituminous materials
014 Monitoring reinstatement of bituminous materials
015 Monitoring reinstatement of concrete slabs
016 Monitoring reinstatement of modular surfaces and concrete footways
The supervisor training is for delegates who are not carrying out any of the manual work themselves and they are only supervising to make sure that operatives are carrying out the work correctly. The supervisor training course is also generally a 5 day course, but units and durations do vary per training centre.

Once you have sucessfully completed the course each delegate is awared with a city and guilds certificate and a street works card. The street works card is an ID card with your photo and information with which units you have completed, so if you get stopped by the authorises you can show that you are adequately trained. When getting quotes for this training make sure that the certifications and card costs are in with the training cost and not added on top, as these total over £100 on the 5 day course.
