About this course

Level 3 Network Cable Installer Certificate in Harrogate. The assessment runs at VQ Solutions Harrogate, a short walk from the train station.

This is the Copper Pathway, a one-day practical and theoretical assessment. It takes around 2 hours of study. You'll sit a multiple-choice test and complete a practical assessment. The course is designed for experienced network cable installers aged 21 or over with at least five years in the data cabling industry. You'll also need proof of 12 or more months of installation experience and a current ECS Health, Safety and Environmental Assessment certificate.

You'll finish with an Open Awards Certificate in Communications Networks, making you eligible for an ECS Gold Card.

Who this course is for

The Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) is a one-day practical and theoretical evaluation designed for network cable installers with 5+ years of experience. It tests your real-world skills and knowledge to determine if you qualify for an ECS Gold Card without needing to complete a full apprenticeship.

Entry requirements

To be eligible, you must be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 5 years of experience in the data cabling industry. You'll also need proof of 12+ months installation experience and a current ECS Health, Safety & Environmental Assessment certificate.

What you will learn

  • You'll demonstrate knowledge of copper network cabling standards and practices.
  • You'll show competence in copper cable installation techniques.
  • You'll apply health and safety requirements relevant to network infrastructure work.
  • You'll prove your ability to test and certify copper cabling installations.
  • You'll evidence your understanding of network infrastructure systems.

How you will learn

The assessment takes place in one day at the Harrogate centre. You'll complete a copper multiple-choice test covering theory and standards. You'll then carry out a copper practical assessment to demonstrate your hands-on skills. Both elements are completed on the same day, with a maximum assessment time of 2 hours.

What you will need to bring

You'll need to bring proof of your work experience in data cabling and a valid ECS Health, Safety and Environmental Assessment certificate. VQ Solutions Harrogate will confirm any additional requirements before your assessment day.
