ECS offers 2 courses to assist engineering professionals with their registration with ECSA.
1) Candidate to Professional Registration with ECSA
This course is presented by ECS online using MS Teams for Engineers, Technologists and Technicians who would like to register for Professional registration with ECSA. HR specialists, Training managers and internal mentors will benefit from attending this course. The course fee is R3350 vat excluded per delegate or R3000 vat excluded per delegate for 3 or more from the same organisation.
Attendees will obtain a certificate of attendance and may claim 1 CPD point with ECSA.
Synopsis of course:
This course is designed for the candidate engineer, technologist or technician in all disciplines of Engineering. It is extremely insightful for the HR and training manager to understand the process to effectively add value to the journey the candidate will follow before registration.
The course maps out the road from a candidate to Professional registration. It highlights the different environments for the Engineer, Technologist and Technician and introduces concepts such as complex engineering, broadly defined engineering and well-defined engineering.
After attending this course, the candidate will be able to strategize on his/her training and be confident in completing the ECSA documents.
It will allow participants to discuss and understand the 11 ECSA outcomes and how to develop competency in these outcomes.
The participant will understand the different levels of responsibility generally assumed during engineering activities. The participant will understand ECSA’s requirement for responsibility taken prior to registration.
The course will discuss the general training hierarchy and the training plan that needs to be in place to make the road to professional registration a successful one.
All ECSA documentation such as the application form, TER-Training and experience report, TES- Training and Experience Summary, IPD- Initial Professional Development and ER- Engineering report which are required to be completed for professional registration will be discussed.
The candidates will be introduced to the ECSA code of conduct.
Main Objective
The course is designed to empower attendees (candidates and mature candidates) with knowledge and understanding of ECSA’s requirements for professional registration so that they become motivated and confident to apply for professional registration.
The course will assist HR specialists and/or training managers to understand the road to registration from candidate to professional so that they may have a positive impact in assisting their employees who are involved in such training.
The HR specialists and/or training managers will understand the C&U- Commitment and undertaking between Organisations and ECSA and how to effectively make it work.
2) Mature Candidates
This course is a half-day online course (8 am-12:30 pm) presented by ECS using MS Teams for Mature (more than 10 years in engineering) Engineers, Technologists and Technicians who would like to register for Professional registration with ECSA.
⍟ 8 am – 12:30 pm
⍟ R2 450 excl vat per delegate
⍟ ONLINE MS Teams
Attendees will obtain a certificate of attendance and may claim half CPD point with ECSA.
Synopsis of course:
You don’t have to try and find out about information on the internet when you can receive all the information by attending this course.
The mature Engineer, Technologist and Technician who has more than 10 years engineering service most probably will have sufficient engineering experience to meet ECSA’s requirements, however, it is frustrating when you don’t know exactly how to put your thoughts on a document to expose your 11 ECSA outcomes. This course will introduce you to the entire ECSA documentation pack and will give you tools to complete the documentation effectively.
You will understand in detail the 11 ECSA outcomes as this will become the foundation for all reports.
Candidates will learn the art of writing up the Training and Experience/Outline Reports and the Engineering report. You will learn the difference between Complex Engineering, Broadly defined Engineering and Well defined Engineering problem solving which will be incorporated in your Engineering Report.
You will be able to get your submission pack ready within 2 months of attending the course.
Main Objective
The course is designed to empower attendees (Mature Engineers, Technologists and Technicians) with knowledge and understanding of ECSA’s requirement for documentation submission so that they become motivated and confident to apply for professional registration. They will learn tools to effectively expose their competencies achieved.
