Sorry to butt in on your thread lee but I've got an ecs card . Is this the same as cscs and can I get on site with this. Cheers

 

[Lee321]

matty your ecs is as good(infact better) as cscs and will be accepted as being cscs qualified

 

[Risteard]

It's not the same as CSCS, but it is affiliated to CSCS. The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme is specific to electrotechnical occupations and as such is the card that those working in the sector should posess.

Yes CSCS. They won't renew my JIB/ ECS card unless I do the CSCS scam then they add that logo to the card . Occurs every two years . I'm sure it was

 

[Lee321]

the official prices are

cscs

How do you wangle it then , Losty?

 

[Lee321]

you get your ecs test passed which lasts for 2 yrs. so from the date of passing you can get on sites with the ecs certificate showing you've passed.

then just as its coming up to expire apply for your jib card. as you have a valid ecs cert the jib card is issued with ecs (cscs affliated) pass on it which lasts for another 3 years

just like you must have done with a car mot due to expire in 2 weeks but you can still get 1 years road tax with it

Thanks I'll remember that .
