The ECA has given its backing to EMTA Awards’ Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQs), which support the 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations.

The ECA education and training division has joined forces with EMTA Awards (EAL) in a bid to ensure ECA members have the right skills and qualifications in place to meet the requirements of the new Wiring Regulations before they come into force on 1 July.

At the request of employers, as well as those working in the training and education sector, the 17th Edition update and full qualifications will incorporate external assessments, which can be carried out through multiple-choice question papers, either online or in a written format.

EAL has provided a specially tailored training option for ECA members who are looking to adopt the new standard.

This features a self-study-assessment-only option, which has been designed especially for UK-registered gold or platinum Electrotechnical Certification Scheme card-holders within the industry.
