About the course
The EWA Experienced Worker Assessment qualification is for practicing electricians who have been working in the industry for at least 5 years (not including full and part time training) but have not formally completed an industry apprenticeship or equivalent Level 3 NVQ qualification.
This is a NVQ route suitable for both self-employed and employed operatives who have extensive work experience but have not gained NVQ qualification. You will need to complete a EWA Skills Scan to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and competence to the standard of the Level 3 Electrical apprenticeship.
With the City & Guilds Experienced Worker qualification, you have shown that you meet the Occupational Standards within the Electrical industry. That can be a great Launchpad for a range of careers, from inspection to installation.
You’ll be assessed via a range of methods and an assessor will need to observe you at work on at least one occasion during the evidence gathering process.
In addition, City & Guilds 2365-02 and BS 7671:2018, also Initial Verification are examined within the Experienced Worker qualification as pre-requisite.
