EWA Cost & Pricing Guide
Two clear, all-inclusive packages for your Experienced Worker Assessment. EAL registration is included, and instalment plans are available.
How much does an EWA cost?
The Experienced Worker Assessment with EWA Tracker Ltd costs £1,995.00 for the Standard Programme or £2,395.00 for the Gold Service. Both prices are all-inclusive and cover your EAL registration, assessor support, workplace observations, professional discussion, internal quality assurance and certification.
There are no hidden extras: the only additional costs are separate qualifications you may still need for the ECS Gold Card (see below) or observations beyond your agreed package.

Standard vs Gold: what's the difference?
Both packages lead to the same qualification. The difference is how much of the evidence-gathering your assessor does for you.
