However, one person cannot cover both roles at the same time.

Yes we can get the trainer to tailor the course content to the specific needs of clients.
If your card has expired in the last 5 years you can attend a re-assessment course to cover the units on your card and get a new expiry date for those units.
Once your card/unit has expired you are not qualified to undertake that work, you no longer get a 6 month grace period. For more information contact our team.
You do not have to complete all of the NRSWA units, for example if you only need to complete just unit 1 or unit 2 you can book onto this no problem. We generally don’t book delegates onto other combinations of units for example units 1-3 or 1, 10- 11 as this takes the place of a 5 day individual. In many cases it also works out more cost effective for you to book on the full course as you will get the extra units for not much extra cost.
Almost all of our courses are run as a 5 day block, we do have a couple of venues that run the course split. Contact us for more information.
