Renewing your certificate
When do my certificates expire?
Street Works certificates are valid for 5 years after which they require to be renewed as per the legislation covering your main country of work. For England and Scotland, it is via Re-assessment and for Wales and Northern Ireland it is re-registration.
What is Re-assessment? (England and Scotland)
Candidates attend a training/assessment centre to undertake a series of multiple-choice on-line examinations covering each of the certificates they currently hold.
The examinations contain 20 questions with a pass mark of 80%. There is no training element to these, but a candidate can choose to undergo training if they so wish, prior to the examinations.
Where can you take this course?
