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.

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