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-registration? (Wales and Northern Ireland)

For candidates working in Wales and Northern Ireland, there is no multiple-choice examination. 

Candidates submit an application form, along with the relevant fee and a passport style photograph, to the Street Works Qualifications Register and their certificate registration will be renewed for a further 5 years.

Renewal is only permitted up to a maximum of 3 months after the current certificate expiration date. If left any later than this, Operatives and Supervisors can either; undergo the initial assessment again or undergo Re-assessment as in England and Scotland.

If they choose to use Re-assessment to update their certificates, they will no longer be able to re-register as before and must continue to Reassess in the future.

Where can you take this course?

These qualifications are offered at SQA recognised assessment centres, details of which can be obtained from:
