I work / live in Scotland – can I do the EWA?

The Experienced Worker Assessment is for learners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only. If you are based in Scotland, the ‘Crediting Electrotechnical Competence’ Scheme is for candidates who hold existing relevant electrical apprenticeship qualifications to SCQF Level 6/7 and are currently employed and working in the electrical installation field. Both UK and Non-UK qualifications can be accepted.

The scheme is for when these candidates want to obtain industry-recognised qualification, allowing them to qualify for SJIB grading. It enables individuals to have their existing qualifications assessed against the standards set out in the current SVQ in Electrical Installation at SCQF Level 7.

Once qualified, candidates can then apply for an SJIB grade card as an electrician.
