ECS Recognises CNet Training’s Education Framework

The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS), is recognising programs from CNet Training’s Network Infrastructure Education Framework and creating specialist datacomms cards for those who hold certifications from the framework.

It is compulsory on almost all UK construction sites that workers hold a valid ECS or CSCS card. ECS is the electrotechnical affiliate of CSCS and is now solely responsible for issuing cards to the datacomms industry. All those who currently hold a Datacomms CSCS card will be required to transfer over to an ECS Datacomms card on their next renewal. The ECS Datacomms card allows workers to easily validate their credentials in addition to proving they’re competent in health and safety and able to work on site.

Now, those who successfully complete the Certified Network Cable Installer (CNCI®), the Certified Network Infrastructure Technician (CNIT®), the Certified Telecommunications Project Management (CTPM®) or the Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP®) programs are eligible to apply for the relevant ECS Datacomms card.
