I'm already hold SMSTS certification, yet they are still required to complete another health and safety exam. It feels unnecessary and more like a money-collecting exercise than a genuine safety requirement.

Absolute disgrace....

Absolute disgrace....I've had a gold card for 8 years, with 23 years industry experience.Out of the blue when renewing, they've changed the criteria and are now stipulating an apprenticeship as part of the signoff.So the application is on hold, but dont worry they took the money for the H&S assessment and card application first before getting an email a week later to say it's on hold.Can you get hold of them to sort it? Of course you can't. Pathetic waste of space. Telling people who have decades of experience and qualifications behind them that they need to apply for a labourers card because they don't suit their niche criteria.Shame on them......

Renewal IT issue

Due renewal of card. Left 4 weeks to carry out H&S test online and renew card. Have all qualifications required for approved Electrician and have had for 20 years. Keep up to date with regs, NICEIC registered etc. My renewal has been sat with a IT issue for 4 weeks which after emails back and forth for four weeks is on their side. My card has now expired leaving me with no card. I now am unable to attend sites where card is required due to this ( site will not accept paper proof of test). Left between a rock and a hard place.

I had my ECS gold for many years and…

I had my ECS gold for many years and 2025 need to pass again health and safety test. This year ECS changed rules and cancelled my ECS gold, which I had for a years. Now I need to reapply again. Its absolutely rubbish to be parts of this organisation. They just cant cancel my card like this surely it's not legal what ECS doing. Its another money making organisation. Shame on you.

Absolutely rubbish service

Absolutely rubbish service. Overload of info, had to play around to find exam. Finally did wasn't compatible with camera or something. Then uploaded the exam, wouldn't let me answer. Then have to contact customer service (no number provided obviously). PILE OF CRAP!

ESC TEST IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE

Paid for the course, money was taken easily ( of course) but the test is impossible to take. Have spent the whole weekend trying to start the course, as I did last weekend too. Have turned off every device in the house and as soon as I log on, I am logged out within seconds. Its an absolute joke of a system. The whole experience does not work and needs urgently looking into, as livelihoods are at stake here. This is just another ESC money making scam

Absolute joke of a company to deal…

Absolute joke of a company to deal with. I've been in the industry for 30+ years, but because I don't have apprenticeship deeds, I can no longer get a card for my profession. I've had 2 previous ECS over the years, but they've now changed the rules so I have to get a card for a profession I don't even work in. Everything about the application process is frustrating, time consuming and poorly designed. Why do I need to pay for this every 5 years? I get absolutely nothing for my money except grief.
