Are you a street works operative or supervisor with a Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR) card expiring soon? Or perhaps your card has already lapsed, and you are rushing to get back on-site legally?

If you are in the final year of your current card—or if it expired within the last 5 years—we have fantastic news for you.



We are running our next highly sought-after NRSWA Refresher Course at Stibb Cross in North Devon EX38 8LJ on 9th – 10th September 2026.



Here is why you need to book your spot today.

The 12-Month Rollover Blueprint: Save Time and Money

A common myth in the utility sector is that renewing your card early means throwing away the months you have already paid for. That is completely wrong!


Under official SWQR regulations in England, you do not lose a single day by being proactive. Any remaining time left on your current card—up to a maximum of 12 full months—is automatically added directly onto your new 5-year ticket.


  • The Math: If your card has 8 months of validity left when you pass your refresher with us this September, your brand-new card will be issued with a total validity of 5 years and 8 months.


  • The Benefit: Zero downtime, zero wasted money, and total peace of mind that your compliance is secured well ahead of schedule.

Expired Card? The 5-Year Grace Period Rule


Life gets busy, and deadlines slip. If your SWQR card has already expired, do not panic. As long as your card expired less than 5 years ago, you are still fully eligible to take our quick 2-day refresher course rather than starting from scratch.



⚠️ Important Reminder: While the 5-year grace period saves you from retaking the expensive and lengthy full course, you cannot legally work on live highway sites once your card expires.


Do not risk heavy fines for your business or getting kicked off-site. Let's get you legal again.
