Hi There
I am new to the forum and hoping someone can help with a query I have. I am looking to move jobs, nothing sinister, just wanting to look for something closer to home, but happy to stay where I am for the time being. However, I can see more and more employers are asking for the ECS Gold card. After some investigation, it would appear that despite me gaining C&G 2360 Pts 1 & 2, C&G 2391 and completing the 18th edition, due to the cut off of September 1999 (Part 2 completed Nov 2000) I need to undertake the Mature Candidate Assessment.
Is there anyone here who has had to take this route? I cant seem to find any detail to how long this would take or what it looks like "on the ground". I am concerned that my current employment, which is mainly around testing would not give an assessor enough evidence of my abilities. I worked for myself for a number of years and have gained experience in all manner of installations etc. but my current employment is quite focussed on testing and compliance and with the cost of the assessment being around £2k, I am reluctant to start this off if I am not going to be able to provide the evidence required.
Any advice, experience etc. would be very much appreciated.
