If you’re working in the electrical contracting industry you may already have one. If not, now’s the time to sign up!

It’s now almost impossible to gain access to a construction site without proof of identification, your competence and qualification levels.

The ECS card solves this problem. ECS stands for Electrotechnical Certification Scheme – it’s the sole ID and competence card for electrotechnical operatives across the UK, and it’s recognised and endorsed by the industry.

Holding an ECS card means you can prove your identity, your qualified status and your occupation, so you can be allowed access to a site or property in order to carry out your work.

ECS is affiliated to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS). So when people say you need a CSCS card – this ECS card is the one that’s relevant to the electrotechnical industry.
