Is there written work on the NRSWA Operative course?
The NRSWA Operative course is practical, there is some theory and written work but this is a small portion of the course. If you have any concerns, you can call and speak to our team. If you have a learning difficulty this isn’t a problem we can let the trainer know before you attend and he can give you extra help if required.
How long does the NRSWA training last for?

I drop kerbs, which NRSWA units do I need to complete?

If I do the NRSWA Supervisor course, can I do the operatives work?
No, if you complete the NRSWA Supervisor training course you can only supervise to make sure that the operative has carried out the work correctly. You are not trained to carry out the operatives work.
I have done the NRSWA Operative course, but now need Supervisors.
If you have previously completed the NRSWA Operative course you can then complete the NRSWA Supervisors, you will receive a white card. You have to be either an operative or a supervisor on site, you can’t be down as both as you can’t be the operative then supervise yourself.
You won’t have to re sit unit 1 (this is the same for both operatives and supervisors) so when booking on, let us know that you have previously completed the operatives. You will need to bring your existing card along to the course with you.
I am not doing any excavating, I just need to monitor the operative?
