Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) – Pathway 4

There is now a Domestic NVQ for all those that specialise and practice only in the Domestic sector, that will lead to achieving a JIB Gold Card.

Are you working in the electrical industry and wish to become a qualified electrician?

This NVQ Level 3 is an assessment of your competencies and experience and is an alternative route to gaining your JIB Gold Card. You will be required to gather occupational evidence from the workplace and will be observed and supported by our team of experienced assessors. Your achievement will be based upon existing qualifications, site/work-based assessments and competence. You will need to complete an AM2E to support your JIB Gold Card application.

Delivery

This qualification is electronically and remotely completed, with no classroom attendance. You will be assigned your own dedicated assessor throughout the duration of this NVQ. This qualification will be assessed through a variety of methods including observations, collecting evidence and discussion.
