Nervermind. Just phoned them up thinking it was going to be a nightmare. Route 1 is correct if dont have employer. Something wrong with there system so nice lady on phone overrided that and have now applied and payed.

Just phone them up if having probs. Long wait but quickly sorted.

Good luck.
I managed to apply for my ECS Electrical Labourer card yesterday with just my 2365-02, 2365-03 & ECS Health and Safety.

If you apply for JIB grading as Electrical Labourer then you need employer endorsement, but if you apply for your ECS Card with the occupation Electrical Labourer & do not apply for a JIB grade (Select ungraded) they will allow it without any endorsement. This will let you get the card before you have a job, and then once you're in employment and have an endorsement, you can reapply for the card to be JIB Graded.

Obviously, this isn't ideal but if you've done the college route like I have and are struggling to get a job in the industry you can get a card first this way which will make you more attractive to employers as you can be taken on-site.

Reference the bit about "Select Ungraded" above.

I tried this today via online application having uploaded my 2365 Level 2 cert and completed their H & S exam. I had to phone the ECS helpline number - they are able to update the online application their end so that you don't have to provide a nominated employer.

The 'interactive' web based application wizard thing gets stuck otherwise ! Apparently this is a 'non standard' application and requires intervention on the ECS side.

Hope this helps someone.
