Do You Need to Take the ECS HSE Test?
Not necessarily! This is where many applicants get confused.
If you do not hold a recognised electrical qualification (such as an NVQ Level 3 or formal apprenticeship), you’re not required to take the ECS Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) test.
Instead, you just need to complete one ECS-approved Health & Safety course. That’s it.
✔️ No test.
✔️ No stress.
✔️ No unnecessary expense.

📋 Other ECS-Approved Health & Safety Courses
Prefer a different qualification? ECS also accepts the following:
CITB Health & Safety Awareness
CITB SSSTS or SMSTS
CCNSG Safety Passport
ECITB Safety Passport
NEBOSH Health & Safety qualifications
Construction Skills Register (CSR)
However, many of these alternatives are more expensive, require in-person attendance, or take longer to complete.

⏱️ Don’t Waste Time or Money on the ECS HSE Test
Many applicants lose valuable time (and cash) by booking the ECS HSE test unnecessarily.
Let’s be clear:
✅ All you need is one ECS-approved Health & Safety course
