ATTENTION ALL APPLICANTS
EFFECTIVE AS OF 1 JANUARY 2011
In the past ECSA refunded the full application fee when an application was either withdrawn by the applicant or closed by the registration department due to incomplete information being submitted, and only if the application was handled administratively and not yet referred to a registration committee. Due to administrative costs, ECSA will now only refund 50% of the amount paid towards application fees in such cases. The new system comes into effect with all applications received as from 1 January 2011.
ATTENTION ALL FOREIGN APPLICANTS If you are in possession of a FOREIGN QUALIFICATION you MUST complete the Foreign Qualification Assessment form first, in order to have your qualification evaluated for registration purposes. Please DO NOT complete a Registration form directly, as this will delay your application from being considered. However, this is not applicable for educational qualifications covered by a Mutual Exemption Agreement, an approved International Register or the Washington, Sydney or Dublin Accords.
PLEASE NOTE:
As ECSA receives numerous requests from applicants who hold foreign qualifications, we advise that requests for letters to Home Affairs for your Quota Work Permit can only be accepted on a Tuesday and Thursday between 10am – 12pm. If you submit a request on a Tuesday, then your letter will be ready for collection on a Thursday, during the stipulated time. If your request is received on a Thursday, then the letter will be ready for collection on the following Tuesday.
