If you’ve got a current PASMA qualification, or if you’ve checked a worker’s card recently, you might already be familiar with the virtual PASMA card.
Launched in 2022 as a quick, secure and environmentally friendly way to demonstrate your competence, everyone with a PASMA qualification already has a virtual card – as long as they’ve downloaded TowerSure.
So far, virtual cards have always been issued alongside a plastic card. However, plastic cards are now being phased out.
PASMA training centres have begun making the switch from plastic cards to virtual cards, with the roll out expected to be complete by June 2025. From that point, plastic cards will only be available on request, at additional cost.
How do I get my virtual card?
Search for TowerSure in the Apple Store for iOS or Google Play for Android and download it to your smartphone. TowerSure is available for all new and existing PASMA card holders in all countries where our qualifications are issued.
Next, register for an account. Make sure to use exactly the same first name and last name that you gave to your instructor on the course. For example, you can’t use James on the course and then Jim on TowerSure.
Don’t forget to enter your PASMA certificate number – it’s an optional field, but you won’t see your card without it. Your training centre will provide this to you when you pass the course. It may be sent directly to you, or it may go via your employer.
Once you’re logged in, hit the profile icon in the top right corner of your app to see your virtual card.
If you renew your card, or take an additional PASMA course, your virtual card will be updated automatically; you won’t need a new certificate number.
