Streetworks Training and Courses   by Morris Richardson

The New Roads and Street Works Act of 1991, also known as Streetworks, is designed to ensure that companies are certified to conduct work related to highways and follow regulations. It aims to encourage companies and local authorities to work closely together improving road safety and minimising disruption to road users. We offer a comprehensive selection of streetworks courses for people employed in the construction industry.

Why Are We the Most outstanding Supplier of Streetworks Training?

We feel that TQ Exel Ltd provides the best in streetworks training, because TQ Exel Ltd was founded around the same time the New Roads and Street Works Act of 1991 was enforced. Originally, our company went by the name TQ Exel Centres and offered various courses and programmes on winter maintenance (winter service operations), national highway sector scheme, and temporary traffic management on high-speed roads. As we evolved we were able to offer a wide variety of courses and NVQ qualifications. We now have over 10 years of experience in providing our clients with highly efficient training courses for the construction industry.

Prior to booking on to any streetworks course have a chat with your local training provider to ensure that you are choosing the correct training modules to suit your intended job. Local councils and highways contractors will often only sub-contract work to individuals who are enrolled with the Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR) and that hold City and Guild certification so it is essential to ensure that you attain the correct qualification for the job that you intend to do.

NRSWA is fundamental in making sure that companies are aware of and comply with regulations. TQ Exel have the best streetworks courses and training presently available in highways, general construction, utilities, and health and safety, along with top of the range consultancy and management courses.
