ECAO: Virtual Master Electrician Exam Paused Due to Irregularities
March 6, 2024
As you may know, in response to the pandemic, ESA created a new option for prospective Master Electricians to take their qualification exams virtually (online). A few months ago, ECAO identified some irregularities that caused ESA to launch an investigation, with the goal of protecting the integrity of the exam. On the basis of evidence gathered to date from that investigation, there is a credible basis to suspect that the integrity of the virtual exam has been compromised. ECAO are unable to provide specific details due to the matter still being under investigation.
In order to protect the public and the integrity of the Master Electrician accreditation process, the decision has been made to pause virtual Master Electrician exams, effective March 1, 2024, until further notice.
