How to go about shadowing and ecs cards

[Adam perks]

Hi guys


First post on here so here goes....


Im currently taking the 2365 ( level 2) qualification and I'm after some advice on the ecs cards.

Im looking for some shadowing work and I was wondering if a ecs card would be require for shadowing, and not only that but how would a ecs card work under my circumstance. I don't work in the trade so would I need a labours card or could I go for a trainee card???

Any response would be much appreciated,

Thank you

I ended up with 'ancillary operative' but some get 'adult trainee' - either way as long as you get one you are better off. Put in for it as soon as possible - it used to take months but recent reports suggest that may have improved. Having a card will only benefit your journey. All the best
