EUSR

EUSR Accredited Courses

What is EUSR?

EUSR is the Energy and Utilities Skills Register.  On successful completion and assessment of an EUSR accredited course our EUSR approved trainer will apply to register the candidate.  EUSR cards are issued within 28 days of receipt of completed paperwork and are valid for 3 years.

CSCS Affiliation

Many EUSR approved schemes are affiliated with the CSCS schemes, allowing gas, water and power workers access to construction sites for purposes of utilities work without the need to complete a separate CSCS card.
