SPA Core Day: Your ECS Health & Safety Exemption for Electricians in Manchester

If you’re starting a career in the electrical industry in Manchester, you’ll need an ECS (Electrotechnical Certification Scheme) card to get on site. One of the key requirements for obtaining your first ECS card is completing an ECS approved health & safety course — the SPA Core Day course, delivered online by MJ Training Solutions every week.

What Is the SPA Core (SHEA) Course?

The SPA Core Day, is a one-day Health & Safety training programme recognised across the utility and construction industries. It covers a broad range of health, safety, and environmental topics relevant to site-based work — making it an ideal alternative to more generic health and safety qualifications.

Most importantly for aspiring electricians in Manchester, the SPA Core course is ECS-approved. 

Why Use the SPA Core Course for ECS Applications?

The ECS card is the industry-standard identification for electricians and related trades. Without it, you’ll struggle to access sites across Manchester and the UK. The SPA Core course:

• ✅ Meets ECS requirements

• ✅ Is valid as an ECS Health & Safety exemption

• ✅ Covers essential topics like hazard awareness, risk assessment, PPE, manual handling, and environmental responsibilities

• ✅ Results in a photo ID card valid for 3 years

• ✅ Is delivered online, saving you time and travel

Instead of booking a separate ECS H&S test, completing the SPA Core course qualifies you immediately — with no extra exam.

Who Should Take This in Manchester?

If you’re located in Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton, or Tameside, and you’re working towards your ECS card, this course is perfect for:

• Apprentice electricians

• Labourers assisting electrical teams

• Newly qualified electricians

• Electrical mates

• Site workers looking to move into the electrical trade
