Level 3 initial verification & periodic inspection and testing qualifications must be held in order to be awarded the Domestic Electrician Experienced Worker Qualification (EWQ), and to complete the Domestic EWA.
If you already hold these, currently held qualifications are accepted and do not need to be repeated.
If you do not already hold these, the Level 3 initial verification & periodic inspection and testing qualifications do not have to be held in order to enrol onto the EWQ, and can be undertaken in conjunction with the EWQ.
There are no exemptions for the EWA, so you will still have to provide initial verification and periodic inspection & testing evidence, from your on-site work, as part of the Level 3 EWQ assessment criteria.
