This qualification was developed to provide a route for those carrying out various support services and who would not need the full L3 NVQ to demonstrate their competence. The Level 2 EAL Certificate in Lift and Escalator Support Services is recognised by CSCS as a valid qualification to obtain a Skilled Worker (Blue) card following CSCS withdrawal of the Construction Related Occupation (CRO) card.
