The Gold Card Training Programme for Experienced Workers

Description

The Gold Card Training Programme for Experienced Workers (EWR) is a specific course package for those that possess a minimum of 5 years practical experience working within the electrical trade, who are currently working as electricians (either employed or self-employed) and wish to qualify for a JIB ECS (Gold) Card. 

The JIB Gold card is quickly becoming a necessity when seeking work on commercial sites or sub-contracting to larger contractors, so the EWR route has been designed to allow those who are entitled to access the scheme, upskill themselves and attain the required qualification to continue in their career. 

The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) is the occupational certification scheme for electrotechnical workers within the UK. The Gold Card certifies that the cardholder has proved their specific experience and competence through a set, ‘rigorous and robust’ assessment process.

The Joint Industry Board (JIB) are the owners and issuing authority for the ECS in England, Wales & Northern Ireland, whilst north of the border is served by the ‘Scottish JIB’.

This package is suitable for those who have a proven track record of working as an electricians for at least 5 years but have no formal recognition of skills or experience, and are aiming to each the status of JIB Gold Card holder. It is necessary to be employed or self-employed as electricians during the programme.

The EWR Package includes all the following courses. These qualifications are the minimum requirements for Gold Card accreditation when completing the EWR route. 

As only electricians who have completed the NVQ Level 3 will have the access to become EV installers, we have included the following course for free for a limited time:
