Smart Awards serve as the authoritative body within the telecoms industry. For those working on the Openreach network, holding a Smart Awards Network Operative Passport Scheme (NOPS) card is essential. This card consolidates all an engineer’s accreditations, providing a streamlined and easily accessible record of qualifications. Managed by Smart Awards, the scheme sets and maintains industry standards, adapting to regulatory changes and ensuring compliance across the sector. With workforce data readily available on smartphones and tablets, the NOPS card simplifies credential management and upholds industry excellence.
