About the assessment and results

ECS computers compressed

Candidates sit a computer-based assessment consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions, randomly selected from a database of approximately 300.

This is a 'closed book' assessment and, as such, no revision materials will be allowed into the exam room. 

The candidate is allowed a maximum of 30 minutes to complete the assessment. 

The pass mark for the assessment is 85% i.e. 34 correct answers out of 40.

Candidates sitting a Site Visitor Assessment will also receive a 40-question paper as described above. The sole difference being that a Site Visitor Assessment does NOT include any questions taken from the section entitled ‘Electrotechnical’ from the JIB specimen question and answer book.

Because this is a computer-based assessment candidates will know their test results immediately the assessment is completed.
