SPA Passport Core Day

SPA Core Day Course – ECS Health & Safety Passport (Online)

If you’re looking to work on-site or apply for an ECS Labourer Card, completing a recognised Health & Safety qualification is essential. The SPA Core Day Course is one of the most straightforward and widely accepted routes to achieve this.

At MJ Electrical Training, we deliver the SPA Health & Safety Core Day as a live, tutor-led online course via Microsoft Teams, giving you a simple, flexible way to gain your qualification without attending a classroom.

Courses run most weeks, with additional dates available for group bookings, including weekends.

What Is the SPA Core Day Course?

The SPA Core Day Course is part of the Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) scheme, designed to provide candidates with a solid understanding of workplace health, safety, and environmental responsibilities.

It is a one-day course covering the fundamental principles of working safely across a range of industries, including construction, utilities, manufacturing, and engineering.

On successful completion, candidates receive the SPA Safety Passport, which is widely recognised by employers and site operators across the UK.

SPA Core Day and the ECS Labourer Card

One of the main reasons candidates take the SPA Core Day Course is to support their application for the ECS Labourer Card.

The SPA Core Day acts as an ECS-approved Health & Safety exemption, meaning:

• No additional Health & Safety qualification is required

• Can be used as part of the ECS Labourer Card application

• Suitable for new entrants and those renewing their card

When combined with the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test, it provides a recognised route into the electrical and construction sectors.
