FAQS
The Installation/Maintenance Electrician Endorsement with Assessment (EWA) formally recognises the competence of experienced Installation or Maintenance Electricians with at least five years of professional practice. It provides a structured route for those without a completed apprenticeship, a recognised Level 3 qualification, or UK-based credentials to gain formal recognition within the UK regulatory framework.
To successfully complete the Experienced Worker Assessment process, it is essential to obtain the Experienced Worker Qualification and undertake the AM2E Assessment, which serves as a counterpart to the AM2S assessment administered to apprentices upon the conclusion of their training.
The EWA must be completed within 18 months. This means completion of the EWA qualification and submission of the gateway application to take the AM2E must be within this period. The AM2E assessment itself can be sat after this point, providing the gateway submission is made within the 18 months.
The Experienced Worker Assessment is for people already working in the industry with skills equal to a qualified electrician. It suits workers who do not yet hold a full Level 3 NVQ qualification.
