Category 1 teaches you to interpret utility plans and use detection equipment to find what is underground; Category 2 covers safe digging with hand tools and hand-held power tools once the services are marked. Taking both together is the usual route for anyone who does both jobs, and costs less than buying the units separately. Courses are practical as well as theoretical, assessed on both, and lead to an EUSR photo ID card. Content aligns with HSE guidance HSG47 and HSG150.
