Experienced Electricians: A Route to the JIB Gold Card Through the Experienced Worker Assessment
If you’re an experienced electrician looking to achieve your JIB ECS Gold Card, the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) could provide the recognised route you need.
At OPTIMA Electrical Training, we help experienced electricians assess their existing qualifications and industry experience to determine eligibility for the EWA pathway and progression towards Gold Card status.
Electricians with 10+ years of installation experience who do not hold the usual Level 2 or Level 3 qualification may also be eligible through an Experienced Worker Entry Test.
