The practical performance assessments and portfolio evidence within the EWA qualification must relate to current work carried out in the UK, so it can be properly verified and assessed on-site. This is a standard requirement of awarding organisations for quality assurance processes.
This is why it’s important you ensure you can readily generate the evidence required before you register on the EWA..
Previous experience can, however, be taken into account in terms of the years of experience as a practising electrician, which is required in order to be eligible to register on the EWA. You will need:
- 5 years’ experience for the Installation Electrician EWA or
- 3 years’ experience for the Domestic Electrician EWA.
