CPD can be defined as the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout a person’s engineering career. Section 22(1) of the Engineering Profession Act, 2000 (Act 46 of 2000) requires that a registered persons must, at least three months prior to the expiry date of his or her registration, “apply, in the prescribed manner, to the Council for the renewal of his or her Registration". Council decided that the most appropriate way for ECSA to give effect to the legislation would be to link Renewal of Registration with Continuing Professional Development (CPD). CPD will therefore be the mechanism through which all registered persons would have to renew their Registration and have published Rules to define the CPD requirements. ECSA have developed a Brochure that explains the CPD requirements and have Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that may assist with any queries.
