Online Course Exams for ECS Card Applications

For courses taken online, delegates now take the ECS invigilated exam at the end of the course. This means upon successful completion of the online exam; delegates can use their certificate towards their application for the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) card. Find out more on the Remote Invigilation Service and how it works. 

The ECS exam is included in the course fee and resits will require an additional fee if the first attempt is unsuccessful.

To administrate the ECS exams we will require the delegates Date of Birth, National Insurance Number and a Passport style photo at the time of booking.
