ECS Gold Card 2025: Updated Requirements and Routes

A UK electrician wearing a yellow hard hat and navy overalls holds up his ECS Gold Card in focus, showing his photo and details, while colleagues work in the blurred background of an industrial site.

The ECS Gold Card has become more than just a site requirement; it is the recognised standard of professionalism for UK electricians. In 2025, new updates mean that whether youโ€™re entering the trade for the first time, moving up from improver level, or formalising years of hands-on experience, there is a defined route that will take you to Gold Card status. This guide breaks down each pathway so you can make the right decision for your career.
