ecs or cscs query

[hawkal]

I am looking to get a ecs/cscs card because they seem to pop up a lot in job descriptions. I know that the ecs is seen as the electricians version of the cscs but am not 100% sure which is the best card or scheme to go for? I have these qualifications.

BPEC (Level 3) Essential Electrics
BPEC (Level 3) Part P Electrics - B & C Scope
BPEC (Level 3) Part P Electrics - A Scope
City & Guilds (2377 002) Portable Appliance Testing
City & Guilds (2382) 17th Edition Wiring Regulations BS 7671
City & Guilds (2392-10) Certificate in Fundamental Inspection, Testing & Initial Verification

I did a short course that included 2 months of work experience.

With these qualifications and this amount of experience which card would you go for?

i think when you pass the CSCS you get the certificate there and then so if you need it for a job to start it might be better to get that, as with the ECS its paper written and they send it off to mark it so takes longer, but the ECS is better long term, most people on my site have CSCS as most companies seem fine with that as long as you have your papers to hand
