Can I just take the Experienced Worker qualification without the AM2E if I want to join a Competent Persons Scheme?

You cannot take the Experienced Worker qualification without the AM2E in order to join a Competent Persons Scheme.

The Experienced Worker Assessment process includes AM2E. All the NICIEC / NAPIT schemes now require AM2 in some guise, as per the EAS Qualifications Guide, unless the domestic installer only route is chosen, so the Gold Card and the Certification Body schemes are now aligned.
