As an accredited ECS partner, ISCVE are authorised to issue AV Engineer and Sound Engineer ECS cards. Applying through ISCVE is quick, efficient and fully supported, with clear guidance from start to finish, including assistance with your application,  preparation for your assessment and a smooth path to receiving your card.

Industry recognised ID

An ECS card is more than just a work pass, it’s an industry-recognised ID that proves your skills, qualifications and commitment to health & safety.

It is widely required for access to construction sites, major projects and secure venues across the UK. Without it, you may be refused entry, even if you’re otherwise qualified.

For professionals in sound, communications and AV engineering, the ECS card is recognised by main contractors, facilities managers and clients as proof that you meet agreed national standards. It covers roles beyond traditional electrics, including AV installers, sound engineers and network infrastructure specialists.

Why it matters:

• Site and Project Access – Required on most sites where electrical or network work is carried out.
• Proof of Competence – Shows you meet technical and health & safety requirements set by industry bodies.
• Professional Recognition – Accepted and endorsed by major employers, trade associations and the Health & Safety Executive.

This is what just a few of ISCVE members have to say about our service:

I really appreciated how invested they were in helping me, it made a stressful situation so much easier to handle.” Josh G.
