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.

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.
