C&G 2347 Domestic Experienced Worker Assessment

Course Objectives

The Domestic Electrician EWA is an assessment process against the industry standard – it is not a shortcut to qualified status. To be eligible for the assessment you should have:

• A minimum of 3 years experience as a practising domestic electrician working across the range of activity set out in the Skills Scan.
• At least a Level 2 electrical qualification

To complete this qualification you will need to:

• Complete a Skills Scan via an initial assessment with a member of our team at an extra cost.
• Have an up-to-date Wiring Regulations qualification
• Have an Initial Verification Inspection and Testing Qualification such as the C&G 2391-52
• Complete the EWA Level 3 performance units

The following elements are included in the cost of this qualification

• Skills Scan via an Initial Assessment
• City & Guilds Level 3 Electrotechnical in Dwellings Experienced Worker Qualification (2347-03)

The following elements are not included in the cost of this qualification and must be booked separately, if required.

• Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations
• Wiring Regulations Qualification
• Inspection and Testing Qualification
• AM2ED Assessment of Competence

About the AM2ED Assessment of Competence

Once you’ve gained the Experienced Worker qualification, you’ll need to undertake the AM2ED at an independent NET centre. Once you successfully gain the AM2ED, your Experienced Worker Assessment process is complete.

Note: The AM2ED is not conducted as part of this qualification and is not included in the cost of this qualification. 

Duration

With your assessor’s support, you can complete this qualification in as little as 6 months, however, this will depend on how readily you can generate the performance evidence that is required and whether you need to undertake any training to gain the required elements such as BS 7671:2018 or Inspection and Testing qualifications. This qualification must be completed within 18 months.

Eligibility Advice – Important Information for Candidates

Our guidance on eligibility for the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) is based on the current Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS) Qualifications Guide, along with advice provided by TESP and NET. We always aim to give accurate, up‑to‑date information to help you understand what qualifications or experience may be required to meet the EAS technical competency requirements.

However, some learners hold historic or legacy qualifications that may still be accepted by certain industry schemes, even when those qualifications do not fully align with the EAS requirements. Individual schemes can apply their own rules and acceptance criteria, which may differ from EAS guidance.

Because of this, any advice we provide should be treated as guidance only.
We cannot accept liability if:

• a candidate completes an EWA or any related training with us, and it is later determined that their historic qualifications were already acceptable to an industry scheme, or
• a scheme accepts qualifications that fall outside the EAS guidance.

Where there is uncertainty about your qualification history, we may seek clarification from TESP.

Industry schemes make the final decision on qualification acceptance. We strongly recommend that candidates check directly with their chosen registration body if they wish to confirm the status or acceptability of historic qualifications.
