Information Sheet for Applicants Applying for

Registration as a Professional Engineering Technician
This document briefly sets out the information required by
the Registration Committee to evaluate applications.

A. General:
 All applicants should read, understand and provide all the information/documentation required in Sheets
C1.1, C1.2, C2.1, C2.2, C4 and C5 of this application form. If the prescribed requirements are not met in
the correct format, it is unlikely that applicants will be registered.
 The onus is on the Applicant to provide all the evidence for consideration of the Council. The evidence must
demonstrate/show competency in accordance with the requirements of Policy on Registration of Persons in
Professional Categories document R-01-P, and Criteria and Processes for Recognition of Educational
Qualifications for Professional Categories document E-17-P.
 Your application will only be considered by the Council if the following documents are submitted:

 Completed Application Form (C1.1 & C1.2).

 Certified copies of qualifications or courses.
 Completed detailed information on Qualifications (Form C1.3 AR).
 Completed Training and Experience Report (Form C2.1 TER) and Training and
Experience Outline (Form C2-1 TEO) if applicable, for each experience period and a
Training and Experience Summary (Form C2.2 TES).
 Completed recent Engineering Report (Form C2.3 ER).
 Completed Educational Development Report (Form C18 EDR), if applicable.
 Referee Reports, one from a supervisor, each duly completed. (Form C4 REF).
 Completed Initial Professional Development Report (Form C5 IPD).
 All supporting documentation must be clearly identified. If you are unable to complete any of the sections, please
explain the reasons in a covering letter.
 In completing all paper forms use type or print clearly in black ink and minimum font size 10 to ensure clear
copying. Forms may not be substituted but may be photocopied or recreated in electronic format.
 It is imperative to present records of only the most significant work and achievements. The Registration
Committee considers that an application of forty (40) A4 pages or less, is sufficient to assess an applicant and
that longer presentations may not be to the applicant’s advantage.
 Your application for registration will only be finalised when the Council has received all referee reports (Form C4
REF). If the referee reports do not reach the Council within a reasonable time, you will be notified accordingly. You
will then be expected to contact the referees.
 If you are in doubt regarding any aspects please contact the Council’s offices.
 The registration process may take 6 (six) months or longer to complete and each applicant will be informed of
the Council’s decision as soon as it becomes available.
 Information regarding the progress of any application will not be given telephonically.
Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that all reports reach Council's offices timeously.
For Registration as a Professional Engineering Technician applicants must have the benchmark academic qualification and
three years of approved experience as a technician, of which at least a minimum of one year must be in a position of taking
full engineering responsibility. If the applicant does not have the benchmark academic qualification (NDip), their application
will be considered by the alternate route. The difference must be made up by extended periods of both engineering
experience and responsibility. The exact periods will depend upon the level of qualifications held by the applicant. It must be
clearly understood that the work which the candidates are doing or have done, as well as the submission of the completed
Educational Development Report (Form C18 EDR) and the Initial Professional Development Report (Form C5 IPD),
are important factors in determining registrability.

B. The Application Form:

The following information is given to assist applicants to complete this form – the numbers refer to the equally
numbered sections of the Application Form.
1. General Information: Ensure that all personal details are correct. A recent passport type photograph
of the applicant is required.
2. Qualifications:
 Original certified copies of your qualification certificate(s) must be submitted. (They must be certified by a
Commissioner of Oaths or Justice of Peace. A Police Officer or Post Master will usually be able to help you.)
 If your documents are not in English, please supply certified translations.
 The benchmark academic qualification required by the Council for registration is a NDip diploma awarded by a
South African University of Technology or Comprehensive University.

Information Sheet
for completion of the
Training and Experience Report or Outline / Engineering Report / Education
Development Report
1.1. The Purpose of the Training and Experience Report (TER) is to provide a factual record of the main periods in the
applicant’s development from graduation to applying for registration and to identify the periods where the applicant took
responsibility at the required level.

1.2 In general, an applicant must complete and submit a Training and Experience Report (TER) for each phase of training
and work experience from the time of meeting the education requirements (NDip diploma in engineering) to application
for registration. TER(s) with total duration covering at least one year working at the degree of engineering responsibility E
(Performing) must be submitted. Such periods need not be contiguous and need not include the last period reported.
 Use a separate form for each experience period and approximately 280 words per TER or 11 bullets per TEO).
 Number the periods in chronological order, which may not overlap.
 Cover the period from first graduation to date of application.
 Provide full details of work done during each period indicating your personal role and level of responsibility. This
work will typically be of a higher level than artisan/journeyman, learnership or a specified category like, lifting
machinery inspector, medical equipment maintainer, etc.
An experience period ends when:
 your work environment has changed, eg. when a major task or project has been completed;
 your type of work has changed;
 your responsibilities or level of function have changed (for instance, as in a promotion);
 you have changed employer;
 your experience is interrupted (for instance by study or prolonged illness).

1.3 It is essential that the information supplied relates to engineering. Other activities which pertain indirectly to engineering
may be considered but measurement of quantities, attendance at meetings and unrelated functions are not relevant.
Management activities, where mentioned, must contain predominantly engineering content.

1.4 The Training and Experience Report (Form C2.1 TER) must be set out in a way that clearly shows engineering
knowledge applied (ultimately at NDip level) and responsibility carried by the applicant. It is incumbent on applicants to
select and describe projects and tasks, which show their level of engineering knowledge and experience and clearly
illustrates the applicant's own role and strategies devised to make these projects successful.

1.5 The functions described must address your involvement and responsibility in engineering work. They should include
but not be limited to:
 Design, drafting, installation, calibration, commissioning, recommendation.
 Operational management, maintenance, modification, development
 Monitoring, manufacturing, economics, resources (including human resources) management.

1.6 Attach designs, calculations, reports, sketches and any other relevant documentation to support your submission.

1.7 Please include an organogram for each experience period showing two levels above and two levels below you (if
present) to indicate your degree of responsibility and the names, qualifications, job titles and registration categories of
the persons indicated. Cover at least the most recent 3 years of the experience periods.

1.8 Success in attaining registration is considered to be evidence of the quality of the training programme. Since the
workplace learning programme is not subject to formal quality assurance, registration as a candidate and employment
in a candidacy programme is advisable. In this instance the Commitment and Undertaking of your employer, defining
the process to build up competence to the required level, must be indicated and the CU number provided.

1.9 The requirement in 1.2 may be relaxed in the case of an applicant who has at least ten years training and experience
after completing the educational requirement and reports a total duration of at least three years at a degree of
engineering responsibility D or E (Contributing or Performing respectively) in detail in the TER format that are signed by
the supervisor. Such periods need not be contiguous and need not include the last period reported. Such an applicant
may submit Training and Experience Outlines (Form C2-1 TEO) for the remaining periods or groups of related periods,
where a supervisor’s or employer’s signature is not required.

1.10. The experience periods and periods of interruption must also be noted in the Training and Experience Summary (Form
C2.2 TES). Ensure that each Form C2.1 TER is signed (verified) by your relevant supervisor or employer and signed by
yourself. If you cannot obtain the supervisor's signature, or if you are the owner of your own business, please annotate
accordingly in the appropriate block and submit an affidavit to the effect that the information provided is true and correct
and give reasons why the supervisor signature cannot be obtained. Note that the Commissioner of Oaths stamp and
signature is required on each experience report that is not signed by the supervisor.
7. Use Form C2.3 ER to submit a recent single engineering report using at least NDip level knowledge at
responsibility degree E, of 2300 to 3000 words in total (100 words per criterion) on major engineering work
completed by yourself.

The engineering work reported on must also be evident from the relevant part of your training and experience reports
covered in 1.2 above, or training and experience outline covered in 1.9. The engineering report is more comprehensive
then the TERs and TEOs, and provides the opportunity to submit specific evidence in support of the claim of
competence against the outcomes required for registration.

Under the criteria for each outcome the following evidence must be provided:

 The report must be written for the purpose of your application. While the report may be on a major
engineering task or series of tasks it is a report in which you reflect on your engineering activities that
demonstrate the required level of competence and the engineering responsibility delegated to you.

 This engineering report must be of a nature that is representative of the engineering work that you
have done illustrating your own role and strategies devised to make the task successful. You should indicate your
level of delegated specific engineering responsibility, independent judgement and decision-making. Factors such
as performance, economic evaluation, environmental and safety considerations, complexity of the task,
interdisciplinary team working, financial implications and duration of the task have to be included against the
applicable criterion. In addition the report should include the extent of your contribution to the engineering process
such as conceptualisation, design and analysis, specification, tendering and adjudication, manufacturing, project
and construction management, commissioning, maintenance, measurement and testing and planning.

 Use Appendix A of the Discipline Specific Training Guide R-05-PN to assist in the interpretation of the
outcome criteria

Your supervisor must sign the report.

3.1 The minimum academic qualification required for registration as a professional engineering technician is an ECSA
accredited National Diploma in Engineering or equivalent obtained from a South African University of Technology, or
Comprehensive University. Applicants not in possession of this qualification should submit a completed Educational
Development Report using Form C18 EDR.
Your attention is drawn to your signature and the signature of your supervisor required on the last page of the
Educational Development Report.

REFEREE GUIDELINE
for the Completion of the Referee Report
Professional Engineering Technicians
NOTE, from Sheet C1.2, paragraph 6: “Each applicant must, with the permission of the persons concerned, supply the
Council with the names and addresses of a minimum of two but preferably three referees, who have personal
knowledge of the applicant's work. Referees must be registered with ECSA as a Professional Engineering Technician,
a Professional Engineering Technologist, Professional Certificated Engineer or a Professional Engineer, of which one
should be a direct supervisor.”

1. COMPETENCY OF A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN

Professional Technicians are persons who execute work applying known and novel technology in a specific discipline,
sub-discipline or a combination of disciplines, in an innovative manner, drawing on a broad base of expertise. They are
people who perform a variety of functions, including but not limited to, design and draughting, installation, calibration,
commissioning, servicing, repair, maintenance, operating, monitoring, manufacturing, economics and management of
resources. The discipline and the work environment determine the number and the ratio of these functions practised. They
understand fundamental principles underlying techniques and are competent to do calculations using mathematical
formulas. They usually operate within standards, codes and procedures. Through their understanding of equipment and
processes used they contribute to technical, financial, managerial and legal aspects of teams/projects. Their autonomy
and competence enable evaluation, consultation, implementation and the taking of professional responsibility.

2. IMPLICATION OF REGISTRATION

The individual subscribes to and will adhere to the professional Code of Conduct of the Act. As such he/she is required to
accept legal responsibility for the soundness of the work executed and thereby affording protection to the public.

3. COMPLETING THE REFEREE REPORT

3.1 Aim
The referee report is a necessary and supplementary document to the applicant’s application for registration as a
Professional Engineering Technician with ECSA. The aim is to convey to the Council, on a confidential basis, the personal
knowledge that the referee or the employer has of the applicant and in the process to make a reasoned evaluation of the
applicant’s capabilities.

3.2 Motivation
It is necessary that the referee or employer be able to clearly and strongly motivate his/her opinion in respect of the
applicant’s readiness for registration. The referee must, when supplying reasons, consider the minimum legal registration
requirements.

When signing the referee report, referees declare that they are acquainted with Council’s Competency Standards,
document R-02-PN and ECSA’s Rules of Conduct for Registered Persons (please refer to ECSA’s website,
www.ecsa.co.za), and that they are prepared to be interviewed by the Council to substantiate their viewpoint, should
Council require them to do so.

3.3 Evaluation
The referee must carefully evaluate the applicant’s capabilities. This report is not a character study. An evaluation of the
candidate’s ethical and professional competence is required.

Referees should have a personal knowledge of an applicant and his/her work and they should be able to give a
professional opinion on his/her engineering ability, level of engineering responsibility and professional conduct during the
period of time of their knowledge of the applicant's activities.

The referee must carefully evaluate the applicant’s capabilities and correctly and accurately complete the report as
Council attaches great value to the information, which is supplied by the referee.

4. GENERAL

The Referee Report should be returned directly to ECSA by the referee. Referees are requested to have their
assessments typed.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

ECSA undertakes to protect the confidentiality of all the information received from the referee.
