As an ISCVE member, how do I order my card once I have passed the ECS HS&E and Electrical Safety Unit Assessments?
Can I book my ECS HS&E Assessment at alternative testing centres?
The ECS HS&E assessment is available directly from the JIB and several other organisations.
The JIB – To book an assessment through the JIB please call the bookings team on 01322 661 633.
The ECA – To book an assessment please call the ECA Administration team on 01582 531 047 or visit their website

ISCVE also runs its own own public HS&E Assessments from time to time and details are listed on the www.myiscve.org.uk events portal. For a large number of delegates from the same company, ISCVE will consider running in-house assessments for you.
Can I have both an ISCVE Sound Engineer card and an ISCVE AV Engineer card?
Yes you can, you just need to place two separate orders. However, it is important to note that even though you will receive two separate cards in the post, the ecs electronic system will only show your most recent order if a site manager should check online.
Can I move from an Affiliate Member Grade to a Technical Grade?
Yes, if you feel you have the appropriate technical knowledge to become a Member grade, you can submit a technical report to support your application.
Can I upgrade from Associate Grade?
When you have the necessary experience and/or technical qualifications and experience you can apply for a Technical or Member Grade.
Can I use an existing Electrical Safety qualification as an exemption?
You may already hold an Electrical Safety qualification from another organisation, but the agreement between the JIB and the ISCVE is that ALL applications made electronically via ISCVE, must have a valid Electrical Safety Unit certificate in order to obtain an ISCVE ECS card.
An ECS Electrical Safety Unit certificate is valid for two years.
