We have tried to make the material as accurate and reliable as possible. We do not guarantee registration on the strength of following the directives and guidelines discussed in this webinar, and the material supplied. The ECSA registration process is a peer-review system, and your registration is wholly dependent on you having met all the outcomes, and on your ability to describe this to the assessors in a manner satisfactory to them. Applicants make use of this material at their own risk and we take no responsibility for the outcome of any application for ECSA Registration based on the content of this presentation.
Introduction This presentation aims to assist you to start your registration process with ECSA, the Engineering Council of South Africa
Registration as Candidate With your new qualification, you can register as a candidate: You require an ECSA accredited qualification from a South African University of Technology or Traditional University Engineering Diploma: register as Candidate Technician BET or Advanced Diploma: register as Candidate Technologist B Eng or BSc Eng: register as Candidate Engineer
Registration as Candidate How to Register Download the application from https://www.ecsa.co.za/EcsaDocuments/ Under item 3 look for Application form: Registration as a Candidate Engineer / Technologist / Technician This form requires your personal information, certified copy of your qualification and proof of payment to engineer@ecsa.co.za

Foreign Qualifications? Qualifications from Dublin/Sydney/Washington Accord countries are accepted as SA equivalent Other European, African and many other countries are submitted to ECSA with the required forms and then assessed for equivalence.

Think outside the box when you fill in the forms We will do a special talk exclusively as guidance for academics
First: Obtain and study all the . documents provided by ECSA The following ECSA documents are to be studied to ensure you understand the requirements for the preparation of your application. Documents are referred to under PE, PT, PCE, PN R-02-STA-PE/PT/PCE/PN, Revision 1: 20 August 2020 Competency Standard for Registration in Professional Categories, referred to as R-02. R-08-PT: Guide to the Competency Standard for Registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist referred to as R-08.. The website link is: https://www.ecsa.co.za/EcsaDocuments/sitepages/ecsa%20documents.aspx
References ECSA website under the folder Documents under the Heading 3.3.2 New Registration for Professional Engineering Technologists Website https://www.ecsa.co.za/EcsaDocuments/sitepages/ecsa%20documents.aspx Success in registration is to comply with all eleven outcomes required by ECSA.

1 Before you fill in the Documents Study the guidelines: R-08-PT: Guide to the Competency Standards for Registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist. Make sure you read it all and understand the contents. Fill in what is asked, not what you think they should know. Peer Review Process: Technologists assessed by Pr Tech Eng. Assessors are all Volunteers using their own time. Only your report to judge you by, they don t know your work.
2. Understand the requirements The documents give all the required information in detail, make sure you read and understand it all before you start. First start preparing your initial draft, after a couple of pages, go and re-read the documents again and adjust your approach. You want to re-read the ECSA documentation a number of times during preparation and then a final time before you submit. This is a meticulous process of writing and editing to ensure that you submitted the required evidence in the format asked for.
Competency standards Group A Engineering Problem solving What outcomes are applicable? Outcome 1: Define, investigate and analyse a broadly-defined engineering problem Outcome 2: Design or develop solutions of broadly-defined engineering problems Outcome 3: Comprehend and apply knowledge: principles, specialist knowledge, jurisdictional and local knowledge

Writing your report In your report you demonstrate your knowledge of the theories and practical experience you applied in your engineering work. Your report and presentations need to be clear, concise, short and to the point. Don t be shy and downplay your contribution, give a true picture. Make sure the spelling, grammar and format is correct. Describe your responsibility and contribution, NOT the project. Report on your own work actually done, don t fabricate.
Writing your report . Communication ability and ability to interpret is judged by way the application is filled in. Poor language gives a very poor impression. Don t use acronyms, trade jargon, CAPITALS. Is your report a true picture of yourself ? Type in the required font, don t use script.
Referee reports Referee reports: 3 x ECSA registered professionals required. They comment on your engineering proficiency, conduct and delegated responsibility from personal knowledge. The applicant must ensure the following: Referee s registration status at ECSA is active. Referees are registered in the category as stated at ECSA
Organigrams Indicate your position in the organization and technical persons above and under you. Do not indicate the cleaners, labourers. Name of incumbent, registration category, job title, qualification One level above, below and beside No shading but indicate own position Not the whole company reduced to A4 M Y Bossman Pr Tech Eng Executive Director M Dip Tech
Summary of Training and Experience The Summary of Training and Experience is an important document but many applicants tend to overlook it. The Summary of Training and Experience is to be completed only after the TER or TEO is completed. Ensure each period is stated in weeks. The total of all periods to be stated in years and months.
Other Matters Provide concise, clear, relevant information. Why did you attend the site meeting: to do the braai? explain your involvement. DON T provide books of designs etc. DON T include all your CPD certificates: list them. Engineering content is King! Don t try to rush ECSA because you waited long to apply.
Interviews The interview is an extension of your application form. You are asked to explain grey areas. Be very worried if you did not report on your own work. Don t talk down to interviewers, they are peers, colleagues. Prepare your 15 min presentation professionally. Cover all outcomes clear and concise. You WILL be caught out if it is not your own work.
Appeals An appeal costs the same as new application. If upset you did not get registered, cool down, discuss. Very few is successful. Ask for information interview to understand your shortcomings. Better to get deferred since it gives you the opportunity to correct your shortcomings
