The Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) is the assessment process to recognise occupational competence for people who have been working as an electrician for over 3 years (domestic) or over 5 years (installation and maintenance), but haven’t been able to complete an apprenticeship, achieve an equivalent, recognised Level 3 vocational qualification or have qualifications from outside of the UK.
Achievement of the Experienced Worker Assessments and its end assessment of competence—the AM2E or AM2ED—meets the criteria for an ECS gold card application. It’s also recognised in the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification as equivalent to an industry apprenticeship.
The EWA is not a shortcut to getting qualified. Those without the range of competence and duration of industry experience after training will not have the skills or knowledge needed to successfully complete the assessment.
There are two EWA routes:
EWA routes are based on the same content as the industry apprenticeships, so both new entrants and existing workers are assessed and accredited against the same industry standard.
Don’t worry if you are unsure which course is best for you. Fill in the application form below, or contact our team who will be happy to help you find the most suitable Experienced Worker Assessment route for you.
