There are a few skills which will improve your abilities as an ECM pilot:

Caldari Cruiser - Skills for the specific types of ship you are flying will give you the greatest improvement in ECM effectiveness. ~~Suggest that~~ this skill ~~is trained~~ to V ~~for maximum effectiveness~~.

Caldari Cruiser - Skills for the specific types of ship you are flying will give you the greatest improvement in ECM effectiveness. Training this skill to V is expensive but useful, especially as it also unlocks several T2 ship options as well.

~~Signal Dispersion~~ - Increases your ~~jam strength~~ by 5% per level. ~~This~~ skill ~~requires Electronics 5 but is very powerful~~. ~~Level V~~ is ~~a bit of a long train, but~~ IV is ~~very important to train~~.

Long Distance Jamming - Increases the optimal range of your ECM modules by 10% per level. Requires Electronics 4. Another great skill to work towards if you enjoy EWAR. Since the tank of your ship is mainly in its range from the fight training this to at least IV is high on your priority list.

Since~~ the ~~tank of~~ your ~~ship~~ is ~~mainly in its range from the fight~~ training ~~this~~ to ~~at least~~ IV is ~~high on your priority list~~.

Electronic Warfare - Required to use ECM mods, reduces their cap usage by 5% per level. You are more then likely to warp away from the battle before your cap runs out. This skill is a prerequisite for several other useful skills, and training it to IV is recommended for Signal Dispersion (and as a bonus will also unlock Electronic Warfare drones).

~~Electronic Warfare~~ - ~~Required to use ECM mods, reduces their cap usage~~ by 5% per level. ~~You are more then likely to warp away from the battle before your cap runs out~~. ~~Suggest to train~~ this ~~to IV anyway because it~~ is ~~a prerequisite for several~~ useful ~~skills~~.

Signal Dispersion - Increases your jam strength by 5% per level. This skill requires Electronics 5 and Electronic Warfare 4. Caldari Cruiser gives a bigger benefit, but this is still very useful.

Frequency Modulation - Increases the falloff distance ~~(this will be explained later)~~ of your ECM mods. ~~Jamming within~~ your ~~falloff is not~~ optimal~~. Train~~ this skill after Long Distance ~~jamming!~~

Frequency Modulation - Increases the falloff distance of your ECM mods. You will usually aim to jam at your optimal, so train this skill after Long Distance Jamming.

Electronic Superiority Rigging - This will allow you to use the ECM rigs.

Electronic Superiority Rigging - This will allow you to use the ECM rigs. Level I is required to fit the rigs at all, and higher levels will improve your tank slightly, especially if you combine ECM rigs with a shield tank.
