PLANNING PRINCIPLES:TRAINING PROGRAMMES
Two principles must be followed by supervisors and mentors when planning training programmes for candidates:
o Firstly, a variety of work activities is necessary for the proper development of a candidate.
Variety may be obtained at the various stages in the lifecycle of an engineering activity: conception, planning, design, construction, implementation, operation and closure.
Associated with this lifecycle are specific functions, including commissioning, testing, improving, trouble-shooting. Candidate should experience several stages in the lifecycle of a project or projects.
PLANNING PRINCIPLES: Continued…

o Secondly, increasing responsibility and accountability
within the organization must be imposed on and accepted by
the candidate until he/she is capable of accepting professional
responsibility in making and executing engineering decisions
at the full professional level.
NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM
9
o Implemented as from April 2013 for the Engineer category and not before October 2013 for the Technologist and Technician categories.
o New policy guideline documents are competency based and will substitute current documents.
o Moving towards electronic system of applying for registration as from July 2013.
o New documents already available on the following link: http://www.ecsa.co.za/index.asp?x=NewReg
oThe new system for the engineer category will be phased in over a period of two years, commenced as from July 2013.
oCandidate engineers who trained under the current registration system will be allowed to apply in terms of the current requirements/ documentation till 31 March 2015.
oThe two systems would therefore be run concurrently for a period of two years to phase out all “previous system” applicants.
oAll applicants submitting after 1 April 2015 would therefore also have to provide New Registration System evidence of competence and will be assessed against Competency Standard R-02-PE.
