To be eligible for the assessment you must be working as a practising electrician and have a minimum of 5 years’ experience working across the range of activity set out in the Skills Scan.
The 5 years cannot include time you have spent in training, either full- or part-time, for example college-based technical certificates. It means 5 years working solely as an electrician and not in training.
If the candidate has spent time working in the industry before embarking on training, this can be taken into account, but the training provider will need to take a holistic view on what they have done. A discussion should readily confirm whether someone has a solid base of appropriate work experience and is in a position to provide the range of evidence that will be required.
