Street Works
SQA offers a complete suite of Street Works qualifications for operatives and supervisors working on the roads/highways (reference to the unit specifications can be seen below). These Street Works qualifications meet the requirements of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSW) which requires work involving the installation, renewal, maintenance and inspection of underground apparatus in the highway to be under the control of competent persons who are in possession of a valid Street Works card.
Qualifications are delivered through SQA approved centres. For further information please contact:

Street Works assessment during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
25 May 2020
SQA has been in discussions with HAUC UK to agree appropriate arrangements for assessing and reassessing Street Works qualifications. HAUC UK has not advised us of any adaptions that can be made to conditions of assessment for Street Works qualifications. Centres must therefore continue to comply with the conditions of assessment detailed in the Street Works assessment strategy document (November 2019), when assessing and re-assessing candidates.
We have contacted centres to advise the appropriate arrangements for delivering and assessing Street Works qualifications during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
