Training Academies

Training Academies

Flowing from its mandate, ECSA aims to take active steps to reduce the number of engineering graduates being lost to the engineering skills pipeline, and to promote the conversion rate from candidacy to professional status in all of the Council-approved Categories of registration. One of the initiatives to achieve this is the establishment and certification of ECSA Training Academies, and concomitant accreditation of appropriate high quality structured Candidacy Training and Mentoring programmes.

Training Academies (TA) offer engineering graduates, who have registered with ECSA as Candidates the opportunity to enhance their practical engineering competency, to ultimately meet ECSA’s requirements to apply for Professional Registration.

The Certification of a Training Academy is directly associated with substantiated proof by a public or private entity of its ability to offer high quality, structured engineering Candidacy Training and Mentoring programmes, workplace learning, and fit-for-purpose engineering experience, which will train and prepare Candidate Engineers along their journey towards Professional Registration.

Ultimately, the certification awarded to Training Academies aims to grow the number of entities that are well-equipped and capacitated to train Engineering Candidates in the Council-approved Categories and ECSA approved Disciplines and thereby enhance conversion rates of candidacy to professional status. Training academies are intended to add benefit to growing the critical engineering skills pipeline and professionalizing the engineering sector to alleviate the scarcity and/or critical shortages of the various engineering skills in the country.
