SCO registration lasts for five years from the date the course started.

  • SCO NRO 1.5 Days
  • SCO RO ½ Day

The SCO 23 is a mandatory requirement for Cadent Contractors and is a recent requirement, which is why you may not have heard about it. Without it you will not be able to get your STC (Safety Technician Competent).

The course consists of:

  • A short video
  • A presentation with some questions 
  • A declaration letter that needs to be signed by the candidate.

Anyone that has an existing SCO registration will need to complete this and if they are doing a new SCO course it will be included at the end.
