What is the EUSR SHEA Gas Open Course?

Open courses are face-to-face with a trainer at a training venue. They are available for anyone to book either online or by phone.

SHEA Gas Courses (Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness) are designed to give those in the gas industry the knowledge and skills to work to a good standard of health and safety in line with HSE guidelines. The course will gain you a EUSR CSCS partner card, which will prove you have the level of health and safety knowledge necessary to access operational sites within the gas industry, whether you are an operative, supervisor or management and needing access on a temporary or permanent basis.

You study a total of 9 modules, 6 are core modules, which are covered in all SHEA courses and 3 modules that are specific to the UK gas industry.

EUSR SHEA Gas Open Course - Key Information

EUSR CSCS Partner Card

You must complete all nine modules and pass the SHEA Gas assessment to gain EUSR SHEA Gas registration. This card scheme allows utility workers to access CSCS controlled construction sites and was developed so that utility workers would not need to carry several different types of cards and qualifications.

Once you have completed the course successfully, you will be added to the register and able to purchase a virtual or physical plastic card.
Your card will be valid for 5 years.

The Energy & Utility Skills Passport Scheme does not indicate any level of technical competence or skilled expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about EUSR training courses.

How do I get a replacement EUSR card?

All new EUSR registrations are now issued with a virtual card instead of the previous plastic card. Virtual cards mean you can never forget or lose your card. To access the virtual card, all you need is a smartphone or tablet and to download the Vircarda app.

How long does it take for me to get a EUSR card?

Once you have completed your course, the training school will submit your registration application. Your certificate can be with you in as little as a week, but the average time frame is usually 4 weeks.

What happens if I fail the EUSR assessment?

Depending on the timing of your course on the day, you may be offered a resit of the module assessments on the same day. However, it is up to the training school to decide if a resit would be appropriate or whether you would be required to take the course again.
