THE ECS REGISTERED ELECTRCIAN

摘要

David Thomas, Strategic Development Manager of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme, looks at the new ECS Registered Electrician status and ECS Check service launched by the JIB... Whilst for many years the ECS gold card has been the mark of a qualified electrician who has reached the industry-recognised NVQ Level 3 standard, many have long been critical of what has been called the 'evergreen' ECS card. This means that gold cardholders can renew their card by passing the ECS Health & Safety Assessment every three years, without having to show that they are keeping up to date with the Wiring Regulations or undertaking Continuing Professional Development.
