Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR) and the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) have completed the affiliation of registration schemes. The affiliation agreement means that a holder of a EUSR card with an affiliated endorsement on will be permitted access to CSCS sites.

As part of this affiliation the training material and assessment methods used within the Utility SHEA portfolio of schemes have been revised. Trainees now complete a randomised test in order to receive a fully affiliated registration card.

A card bearing the CSCS hologram in the top corner will be issued to anyone who has completed one of the Utility SHEA since 01 December 2008. A coloured stripe below the hologram indicates the highest level National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) achieved by the cardholder. These colour bands are in line with those used across the CSCS scheme.

Old design cards with any of the following endorsements shown as valid will continue to be accepted for entry onto CSCS sites.

More details of the affiliation between EUSR and CSCS, including illustrations of the various card designs can be found here. A factsheet is also available to download by clicking here.

Please note:
We are now unable to print cards in the old design. Replacement cards involving a Utility SHEA course from prior to 01 December 2008 can be issued showing current endorsements, however these cards are not CSCS affiliated and will not be accepted for entry onto CSCS sites.
