Question:

I have just graduated and want to know how I can register with ECSA as a Professional Engineer, Technologist or Technician?


Answer:

Go to the website www.ecsa.co.za and click on “Candidacy Programmes” where you will find all the documents required to inform you how to locate the applicable Candidate Phase documents including procedures and formats. Read the documents and follow the instructions.

Note that you will have to have at least 3 years experience after graduating before you can apply for registration. Once registered as a Candidate then go back to the ECSA website and look for the documents under “Registration Process”. Read the documents and follow the instructions and you will know what you will need to do to enable registration after your training period is completed.
