Who it is for

Contractors who need signing, lighting and guarding only, operatives adding a unit to an existing card, and supervisors adding the modular surfaces unit.

CABWI centre with our own assessor

No middle-man: we register, assess, claim and chase the SWQR cards for you.

Real materials, real assessments

Hot-lay, block paving and concrete on hand at the practical centre; nobody signs off a unit they have not done.

Eight per cohort

Small enough for every delegate to be assessed properly, big enough to move a crew through in a week.

Built around expiries

Send the card copies and we plan reassessments before anyone lapses.

What the course covers

  • Unit 1 (O1): location and avoidance of underground apparatus
  • Unit 2 (O2): signing, lighting and guarding
  • Unit 3: excavation in the highway
  • Units 4 to 7: reinstatement (backfill, sub-base and road base, cold-lay, hot-lay)
  • Unit 8: modular surfaces and concrete footways
  • Supervisor units S1 to S7 on request

★★★★★Trustpilot
Mark's presentation style was engaging and tailored to the group. The content was clear and easy to follow. Mark kept the session flowing and staggered the practical element, which meant that people remained focused.

How booking works

  • Send the delegate numbers, location and deadline. We reply with a proposal and a single price within one working day.
  • We deliver on your site anywhere in the UK, at our Northampton training room, or online where the course allows.
  • Certificates and cards are issued after the course and logged so you can evidence competence to a client or auditor.

"But we..."

We only have one or two people

We run closed cohorts of up to eight. Ask and we will find the next suitable one or combine you with another client.

Our cards expire soon

Send copies now. Reassessment has to happen before expiry or within the short grace window.

We do not have a practical area

Novice weeks run at a partner training centre with hot-lay, block paving and concrete on hand.

How quickly do the cards arrive?

We submit claims as soon as results are confirmed and chase them through; allow a few weeks for SWQR production.

Questions

Which units do I need?

It depends on the work you do. Signing, lighting and guarding (Unit 2) is needed by almost everyone on the highway; excavation and reinstatement units depend on your trade. Safe and Trained will advise before booking.

Can I take one unit now and add more later?

Yes. Each unit is certificated on its own and can be added to your SWQR record later.

Why can some units not be delivered at my premises?

Excavation and reinstatement units need land, materials and equipment for the practical assessment. The Loughborough site has these; your premises can be used if they meet the requirements.

How long do the units stay valid?

Units recorded on the SWQR card are valid for five years, after which a refresher requalifies them.
