Experienced Worker Assessment

The EWA process recognises occupational competence for people who have been working as an electrician for over five years, but haven’t been able to complete an apprenticeship or achieve an equivalent Level 3 vocational qualification.  The EWA is based on the same content as the electrotechnical apprenticeship.  This means that both new entrants and existing workers are being assessed and accredited against the same industry standard.

The NVQ 2346-03 will allow candidates to demonstrate their technical knowledge, performance and competence to the industry recognised level 3 standard.  The EWA replaces the JIB Mature Candidate Assessment and provides an improved, standardised, and transparent process for experienced workers to accredit their skills, experience, and knowledge.  To complete this qualification, you will also need an 18th edition and Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations qualification (This is not included in the price because the requirement varies according to each learner).

Gain recognition as a Qualified Electrician

Achievement of the Experienced Worker Assessment and the AM2E meets the criteria for a SparkSafe Qualified Electrician Licence.  The Experienced Worker Assessment also meets the ECS Gold Card criteria, as well as being recognised in the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification as equivalent to an industry apprenticeship.  It is important to emphasise that the EWA is an assessment process against the recognised industry standard.  It is not a short cut to becoming qualified.

Assessment

This course is assessed through portfolio of evidence. The qualification is site-based and does not require attendance in centre. You can arrange for face to face meetings with your assessor if required.  To register or for further information on the C&G 2346 please click here
