Course description
If you are planning or thinking about working in the electrical industry, you may have either heard about or been told about an ECS card. It is similar to a CSCS card but designed specifically for the electrical sector.
The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) use cards to verify the competency of electrical workers and are used by construction sites as a pre-requisite for gaining site access and from my experience, this also extends to large manufacturing, industrial premises, schools and government buildings. Even if you are not planning on working on one of these types of sites today, it still might be worth considering starting the ECS application process.
This health and safety course has been designed to give candidates the best opportunity to pass the ECS Health & Safety Test successfully. The final test is a 30-minute, 50 question examination with an 85% pass mark, you have to achieve 43 correct answers from 50 questions. Making the ECS Health & Safety Test slightly more challenging than you might think!

Suitability - Who should attend?
If you’re currently seeking employment in the electrical industry or currently working without an ECS card, it’s highly recommended to obtain a relevant card. Without one, it will be challenging to secure employment or future prospects in the industry.
The most common cards for persons involved or looking to become involved in the electrical industry are either an ECS Labourers Card or the JIB Gold Card. Both of these will require completing the ECS Health & Safety Test.
The ECS card functions similarly to cards used in other industries like CSCS cards. It serves as a valuable means to showcase your identity and the skills you possess. Moreover, it confirms your authorisation to be present on-site by displaying your identification, qualifications, and occupation.

Training Course Content
To get the card, you must pass the ECS Health & Safety Test. The idea behind this test is to minimise unsafe working practices and improve safety and quality of work. The test also ensures that everyone working on-site has the appropriate health and safety knowledge.
Helping you prepare for the final test, we will work through the core topics outlined by the ECS using practice test quizzes and final mock examinations to enforce the learning.
