What will you gain from this ECITB Level 2 qualification?

Competent employees are essential for the safe running of engineering construction sites, which is why the ECITB offers the Assuring Competence in Engineering Construction (ACE) card scheme.

When an individual is registered on an ECITB qualification and has a CCNSG Safety Passport, ECITB will automatically issue them with an ACE red learner card.

The ACE scheme is an engineering construction industry safety card that ensures the competence of workers in the UK.

Upon completion of this qualification a Level 2 card is awarded as a combined CCNSG/ACE Card. This allows individuals to move between civil and engineering construction sites with a single card that validates their credentials and is one of 38 partner card schemes of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).
