Gain Formal Recognition with the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA)

Are you an experienced professional in the network infrastructure industry looking to validate your skills and competence? The Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) offers a structured pathway to achieve formal recognition of your expertise, opening doors to career advancement and industry certification.

What is the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA)?

The EWA is specifically designed for individuals with at least five years of experience in the network infrastructure field who may not have followed traditional apprenticeship routes. It thoroughly evaluates workers’ competence, quality, and adherence to safety standards.

This assessment includes:

  1. Multiple-choice question test: A knowledge-based exam conducted under controlled conditions to assess theoretical understanding.
  2. Practical observation with questioning: A hands-on assessment where candidates demonstrate their ability to install, terminate, and test copper or fibre optic cables.

Candidates can choose one of three pathways based on their expertise:

  • Copper Pathway: Focuses on copper cabling, requiring a multiple-choice test and practical task.
  • Fibre Pathway: Includes a test and practical assessment specific to fibre optic cabling.
  • Copper and Fibre Pathway: Combines assessments for both copper and fibre tasks.

Successful completion of the EWA makes candidates eligible for the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Network Infrastructure Installer Cards, which are highly regarded within the industry.
