How to Get an ECS Labourer Card in Leeds & Bradford

If you’re based in Leeds, Bradford, or the wider West Yorkshire area and want to begin a career in the electrical industry, getting your ECS Labourer Card is an essential first step. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to formalise your role on site, MJ Training Solutions is here to help – with online courses delivered weekly via Microsoft Teams.

We offer two key qualifications to help you meet ECS card requirements:

• SPA Health & Safety Core Day – Only £174.00 Inc VAT

• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations – Only £264.00 Inc VAT

Both are delivered remotely, meaning you can access top-quality training from anywhere in Leeds, Bradford, or surrounding towns like Wakefield, Halifax, and Huddersfield.

ECS Labourer Card – Am I Eligible?

There are two main routes to getting your ECS Labourer Card, depending on your current qualifications.

Route 1: You Already Have a JIB-Approved Electrical Theory Qualification

If you’ve previously completed a recognised electrical theory qualification, such as:

• City & Guilds 2365, 2330, or 2360

• EAL equivalents

You’ll just need to pass the ECS Health, Safety & Environmental Assessment to apply.

Route 2: You Don’t Have a JIB-Approved Electrical Qualification

If you’re starting from scratch or working in a support role without formal training, don’t worry – here’s what you’ll need:

1. Complete an Approved Health & Safety Course

You must complete one of the ECS-approved courses listed below:

• SPA Core H&S Course – ✅ Available weekly online with MJ Training Solutions

• ECS Electrical Safety Unit

• CITB Health & Safety Awareness

• CCNSG Safety Passport

• Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment

• COSAC Safe2Site (Level 1)

✅ The SPA Core Day course is one of the most accessible and recognised routes – and it’s available to Leeds and Bradford learners online with MJ Training Solutions for just £174.00 Inc VAT.

If taken within the last 3 years, the SPA course may exempt you from the separate ECS Health, Safety & Environmental Assessment.

2. Pass the ECS Health, Safety & Environmental Assessment

This is required unless you’ve completed one of the exempting H&S courses recently (SPA, CITB, or CCNSG).

3. Provide Evidence of Working in the Electrotechnical Industry

This can include:

• A letter or reference from your employer

• An employment contract, offer letter, or payslip

• Proof of enrolment on a recognised course (e.g. the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations)

• A valid qualification such as BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regs)

✅ MJ Training Solutions offers the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations course online with flexible exam options (either at home or in a centre) – ideal for candidates in Leeds, Bradford, and surrounding areas.
