The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS), is recognising programs from CNet Training\u2019s Network Infrastructure Education Framework and creating specialist datacomms cards for those who hold certifications from the framework.<\/b><\/p>\n
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\u2019re competent in health and safety and able to work on site.<\/p>\n
Now, those who successfully complete the Certified Network Cable Installer (CNCI\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/a>, the Certified Network Infrastructure Technician (CNIT\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/a>, the Certified Telecommunications Project Management (CTPM\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/a> or the Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/a> programs are eligible to apply for the relevant ECS Datacomms card.<\/p>\n The Global Network Infrastructure Education Framework, originated by CNet Training, offers industry professionals an opportunity to map education programs to meet individual and organization requirements. It provides designations that have become key skill reference points that allow those holding the certifications and qualifications to clearly demonstrate their ability and experience.<\/p>\n As well as eligibility for the ECS Datacomms card, upon successful completion of a CNet Training program students gain an official industry recognized certification, an internationally recognized professional qualification, Continual Professional Development (CPDs), the use of a post nominal title\u00a0i.e. Martin Smith CNCI <\/em>and the use of the official certification logo.<\/p>\n
