The EVC Register

It is free to be listed on The EVC Register, however you must meet some criteria.

• You must have attended an appropriate EVC training Course.

• ‘Appropriate’ means a course that has been developed, delivered and awarded by a training provider with robust quality standards; for example EVC training courses and training providers accredited by recognised bodies (such as IOSH, NEBOSH and RGS); or delivered by a competent OEAP EVC Course Director or SAPOE approved trainer if in Scotland.

• Lasting 6 hours in total, either face to face, virtual classroom or blended learning.

• Resulting in a formal certificate being issued.

We will consider certificates other than the above on a case-by-case basis.

The EVC register is a Central Register of Trained EVCs. The list is publicly accessible online at theevcregister.com.

Individual EVCs are listed on The EVC Register with their name and date of current EVC Certification. When registering, you are asked to provide your school name and location, details of who provided your training, and a contact email address. These data are used to manage your account, verify your qualification and to enable reporting on the distribution of EVCs.

By default, an individual’s location, school and email address are not visible to the public unless you opt to share this data, which requires your explicit consent for the information to be displayed. EVCs may choose to add further, optional information such as a photo or social media profile but this is not required.

In line with our responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018, we have conducted a data impact assessment and we are confident that there there is little or no risk to the individual.

The EVC Register is powered by Accredible, an online certification platform. Safety and data protection were important factors in choosing Accredible. The platform uses the latest blockchain security measures and data is stored and processed in the EU. Find out more here.

At EVOLVE Advice, we take data security very seriously and ensure that what we do is not only compliant but ethical too. If you have any questions about how we control and process data, please contact our Data Protection Officer via info@evolveadvice.co.uk. Read our privacy policy for more information.

If you and your EVC training course meet the criteria, your learners will be eligible to join the register. They will need to join as an individual to ensure that they have given the appropriate consent and can choose what information they want to display in the public register.

We’re happy to provide information or graphics for you to share with your learners to help explain The EVC Register, please get in touch at marketing@evolveadvice.co.uk.

The EVC Register gives approved training providers a way of offering your learners an online certification and verification system without the need to invest in costly development.

We invite and encourage other training providers to use and share it with their learners.

There is no fee for using or viewing the register.

EVOLVE Advice believes in the value, importance and need for trained EVCs in schools.

We train over 2000 EVCs per year and as such want to help raise the profile of the role to relevant stakeholders.

We have created, and are administering, The EVC Register but we hope it will be adopted by organisations across the sector. It is intended for the benefit of everyone involved in educational visits and learning beyond the classroom.
