Here’s everything you need to know:

EUSR (Energy and Utility Skill Register) is a record of qualifications for energy and utility workers.
EUSR Card Checker
Individuals can check what qualifications they hold using the Online Register Search.
To generate results, enter the Surname and EUSR ID or Surname and Date of Birth of an individual.
Employers can also leverage this tool as part of the training and recruitment process.
2. What Does EUSR Training Cover?
EUSR cards allow individuals to carry out relevant work, specific to their qualifications.
This covers a variety of industries, including:
