Discipline Specific Guidelines:

Civil Engineering
Chapter 1
Executive Summary
These guidelines are aimed at providing more information about the requirements for
registration through the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), and membership of the
South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE), in addition to the broader requirements
set out in Policy Statement R2/1A.
1.1

Candidate engineers (CEs) wishing to become registered as professional engineers with

ECSA and accepted as corporate members of SAICE must

(i)
(ii)
(iii)

hold a relevant academic qualification recognised by ECSA through accreditation or

evaluation, or have passed any examination which ECSA may prescribe (Chapter 2);
and
prove that they have been trained to an acceptable level of competence in defined
elements, in so far as it relates to civil engineering; and
display attributes of a professional person.

1.2

Immediately upon graduation, candidates are encouraged to apply to ECSA for

registration as CEs and to apply to SAICE for graduate membership of the Institution,
whereafter, such CEs will be provided with all relevant documents needed for the entire
training period.

1.3

The recommended way of achieving the requisite levels of competence in all the
training elements is through a focused process of acceptable training, where the
candidate engineers and their employers and mentors jointly plan and execute the
actual training on the basis of ECSA's Policy Statement R2/1A, as well as the training
objectives listed in the Training Schedule. (Form AC7 of the application form)

1.4

CEs will be expected to obtain practical experience in a position of responsibility and to

prove that their education, training, experience and professional development have
enabled them to discharge, in full, the responsibilities of a professional engineer in civil
engineering (Chapter 4).

1.5

To prove that they have satisfactorily completed all the requirements for registration
and membership, CEs should apply to ECSA for registration as professional engineers
and, simultaneously, for corporate membership of SAICE. The evaluation of their
applications will also include a Professional Review (PR). On successful completion of
the PR, CEs will be registered as professional engineers and, if they so wish, be
admitted to corporate membership of SAICE (MSAICE) (Chapter 5, 6 and 7).

Chapter 2
Academic Qualifications
2.1

The minimum academic qualification required for registration as a CE and graduate

membership of SAICE, is a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, accredited by the
Engineering Council of South Africa.
The list of accredited South African bachelor degrees in civil engineering are obtainable
from the Education Department of ECSA either telephonically or in writing at:

2.2

Persons who have graduated from a university not accredited by ECSA will be assessed
individually on merit. If their qualifications are evaluated as being at least equivalent to
an accredited South African degree, candidates will be eligible for registration as CEs
and could then follow the formal route to registration as professional engineers.

2.3

Persons whose qualifications are not accredited or recognised by ECSA may follow an
alternative route to obtain the academic status required to register as candidate
engineers. Persons must apply to ECSA and obtain the necessary information on the
procedure to be followed.

2.4

Those who meet ECSA's academic requirements should, without delay, register as CEs
and, at the same time, apply for graduate membership of SAICE. Application forms can
be obtained from ECSA or SAICE. CEs must, from the outset, obtain copies of the

application form for registration as professional engineers as will become evident later
in this document (Chapter 4 and 5).

Chapter 3
Training under a Commitment and Undertaking (CU) and Mentorship
Training under a CU
3.1

CEs must ensure that their employers register a "commitment and undertaking" (CU) in
terms of which they will be expected to structure the training of, and actually train,
their CEs, in accordance with the requirements of ECSA's Policy Statement R2/1A as
well as the training objectives listed in the Training Schedule (Form AC7). The aim is to
enable them to achieve the required standards for each training objective listed in the
Training Schedule. Each CU will be allocated a permanent registration number, which
should be quoted by all CEs when applying for registration as professional engineers
with ECSA, and/or corporate membership of SAICE.

3.2

Employers must, at the same time, submit the name(s) of a mentor(s) from within the
organisation (see 3.5) or, if an internal mentor is not available, the name of an
external mentor (see 3.6) to guide CEs through the required process of training. A
CU will not be registered by ECSA unless the name of at least one mentor (internal or
external) is provided.

3.3

CEs who did not train under a CU will be required to prove that they have in fact
achieved the required standards in all the training objectives listed in the Training
Schedule (Form AC7). ECSA will evaluate this by way of an "experience appraisal"
(Chapter 7), which may include an interview to determine whether CEs can be declared
suitable candidates for the PR (Chapter 6). In this case, a much more strenuous onus
of proof will rest on CEs to satisfy the Council of their candidacy for the PR.
Mentorship/Supervision

3.4

ECSA and SAICE will keep a list of internal and external mentors. The only requirement
for mentorship is that a person should be registered with ECSA as a professional
engineer. These mentors will be deemed not only to be capable of fulfilling their
functions in a professional manner but also as being committed to advising and guiding
their CEs in their professional development.

3.5

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that all CES should have a mentor who is working in
the same organisation as the CE.

3.6

If a mentor is not available internally in the organisation, a list of external mentors can
be obtained from ECSA or SAICE. It will be expected of employers making use of the
services of external mentors, to create an environment in which such mentors can feel
free to make recommendations in the reasonable knowledge that such
recommendations will be given sympathetic consideration.

3.7

It will be expected of all mentors to become fully conversant with their functions and
responsibilities as referred to in Policy Statement R2/1A, to conduct regular discussions
with their CEs and to assess their progress in accordance with the guidelines set out in
the Training Schedule (Form AC7) and Policy Statement R2/1A. Since the effectiveness
of mentors will continuously be monitored, Council will attach much value to the opinion
of deserving mentors as to the registrability (or otherwise) of their CEs.

3.8

It is not expected of mentors to take responsibility for the day-to-day supervision and
training of CEs. Mentors/employers should, however, ensure that competent persons,
preferably registered with ECSA, are available to oversee the training on a regular

basis. Mentors should satisfy themselves as to the competency of these persons. In

civil engineering they are referred to as "Supervising Civil Engineers" (SCE)

Chapter 4
The Process of Training
4.1

CEs training under a CU (Chapter 3) must follow the instructions in the Training
Schedule (Form AC7) and discuss their progress with their mentors at quarterly
intervals. Training reports, which must be updated regularly, form an essential part of
the monitoring process, and these reports must be filled in on the correct form (Form
A2.1) of the application documents.

4.2

It is a requirement that CEs who are aspiring to become professional engineers (ECSA)
and corporate members (SAICE) should, with the assistance of their mentors, achieve
their training objectives by structuring their training in such a way as to cover the
various elements of training referred to in Policy Statement R2/1A and in the Training
Schedule (Form AC7). This includes all the training objectives to be addressed during
their training period. The competence level required in respect of all elements is also
listed in the Training Schedule (Form AC7).

4.3

It is not prescribed in which sequence the various objectives and competencies are to
be achieved - as long as all the elements have been addressed by the time the CEs are
ready to apply for registration with ECSA and membership of SAICE. The tempo at
which CEs progress through their training is determined by themselves, their mentors
and other factors, such as the state of the economy and availability of training
opportunities.

4.4

Mentors should only certify a particular objective in the Training Schedule (Form AC7)
once they are satisfied that their CEs have achieved the desired competence level for
that objective. When certifying an objective, mentors must indicate the date on which
certification took place.

4.5

In the event that CEs, training under a CU, decide to change employers, they should
ensure that they continue their training under another CU registered by their new
employers. CEs should also ensure that their new employers provide mentors to guide
them through the remainder of their training period and to take over where the
previous mentor ended. It may even be advisable to retain the previous mentor, if this
is at all practicable. If their new employers do not have a registered CU, CEs will be
considered in terms of the "experience appraisal" procedures (Chapter 7).

4.6

Once all the objectives have been achieved and certified, the CEs should, in principle be
registerable, and could then apply for registration as a professional engineer (ECSA)
and/or for corporate membership of SAICE. Depending on the circumstances, and
provided that they have faithfully and studiously pursued the training objectives as set
out in the Training Schedule, CEs may expect to take a minimum of three years to
achieve acceptable competence in all the prescribed objectives.

4.7

For more information about CEs who have not completed their full training under a CU,
please refer to "experience appraisal" (Chapter 7).

4.8

Regardless of whether or not CEs have trained under a CU, they are required to show
evidence of continuing learning. This concept includes continuing education and
professional development. SAICE issues a special record book for continuing learning
and this should be used.

4.9

Continuing learning may include courses, self-study, technical conferences, seminars,

symposia, organised site visits, and meetings of professional bodies. The programme

of continuing learning should achieve a balance between technical content and

managerial/professional aspects.
4.10

The mentors of CEs training under a CU should suggest suitable continuing learning
programmes on a consultative basis. The mentors will be responsible for certifying
when any part of a continuing learning program has been met.

4.11

CEs who did not train under a CU, must make their own arrangements to follow a
continuing learning programme, and attendance at these programmes must be certified
by their employers.

4.12

To assist with identification of suitable courses, SAICE publishes on its website,

http://www.civils.org.za, an events database, which contains information about
available courses listed by region and topic. In addition, the Local Branches or
Divisions of the Institution may assist in advising on courses which are available in their
areas, including in-house courses run by employers for the benefit of their own staff,
but which are also open to non-employees.

Chapter 5
The Process of Applying for Registration
5.1

When applying for registration, and, assuming that the Training Schedule (Form AC7)
and Training/Experience Report (Form A2/1) have been completed during the course of
their training, CEs should also complete those uncompleted portions of the application
form (i.e. personal details, training summary etc.).

5.2

ECSA will only consider an application to be complete once the following documentation
has been received:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
(vii)
(viii)
(ix)
(x)
(ix)

Personal details, qualifications, proof of membership of Institutes, etc. and affidavit

(Form A1.1 and A1.2);
Summary of Training Periods (Form A2.2);
Training Schedule duly signed by mentor(s) during training period (Form AC7.1 and
AC7.2) (see 5.3);
Interview Record (Form AC8);
Training/Experience Report (2 000 words), completed during training period, (Form
A2.1);
Project Report (4 000 words) (see 5.4);
Record of continuing learning to date (see 4.8);
Confidential Referee Reports, forwarded directly to ECSA by referees, or if placed in
sealed envelopes and attached to the application (Form A4.1 & A4.2) (see 5.6);
Certified copies of all qualification documents (see instructions in Sheet A1.1 of the
application form);
Proof of current membership of SAICE (if applicable) (see instructions in Sheet A1.2
of application form);
Application fee.

5.3

The Training Schedule will only be regarded as complete once the mentor has certified
that all the training objectives have been met.

5.4

The purpose of the 4000 word typewritten project report is to demonstrate the CEs
technical, professional and communication competence. It is not a repeat of the
information given in the experience/training reports. The report should describe an
engineering project or projects, which have been significant in the development of
the candidate. Whilst it is preferable that the report should be confined to one
project or part of a project, it is appreciated that various constraints during the
training period could mitigate against this. In such cases the report may cover up to
but no more than three projects. The emphasis, however, must be on the candidates
own contribution and should indicate an overall understanding of the relevance of
this contribution to the project. Candidates should therefore indicate the depth of

their roles in the development of the projects and give the background to any
important decisions for which they were responsible. Where appropriate the report
should incorporate analyses, drawings and/or other illustrations, which are necessary
or beneficial for an appreciation of the candidates contribution to the project.
Similarly cost data may be included to show that the candidate has an adequate
understanding of the financial implications of decisions taken. It is noted that
candidates should use the subject of the project report as their presentation during
the professional review. The project report forms a major basis on which they are
initially assessed both for the experience appraisal and later for the professional
review, hence it is suggested that the selection of the project report subject should
be discussed with their mentors. The report, which must bear the name and
signature of the CEs, should be verified by their mentors as being their own work.
5.5

CEs who have trained under a CU, must indicate the registration number(s) of each
employer's CU on their application form.

5.6

Referees, which could also include mentors, must complete the "Referee's Report"
(Forms A4.1 & A4.25 of the application form) on each CEs performance and submit
these reports directly to ECSA. The Referee's Report is a confidential report, which
must provide referees the opportunity of expressing their professional judgement on
the particular CEs professionalism. CEs who have had only one mentor during their
entire training period should obtain an additional Referee's Report from at least one
additional referee, who has personal knowledge of their engineering work.

5.7

Each application form contains detailed instructions on how it needs to be completed.

CEs should acquaint themselves thoroughly with these instructions, as this will greatly
assist them in expediting the processing of their applications.

5.8

CEs will not be accepted for a PR (see Chapter 6) unless their applications are duly
completed, with all supporting documentation attached.

Chapter 6
The Professional Review (PR)
6.1

The PR constitutes a comprehensive review of CEs' ' engineering careers in the form of
an interview, to assess the quality of their professional attributes and the level of
competence achieved during their period of training.

6.2

The PR is designed to enable CEs to demonstrate that:

(i)
(ii)
(iii)

6.3

they have acquired an understanding of the professional environment in which they

work, including moral and ethical issues;
they have developed the ability to exercise engineering judgement, to make
responsible decisions, to communicate lucidly and accurately, to identify and find
solutions to problems and to implement these solutions; and that
they have achieved an acceptable level of technical knowledge and understanding in
defined training objectives within the discipline of civil engineering.

The procedures preceding, during and subsequent to the PR will take place as follows(i)

(ii)

An assessment will be made of CEs who have trained under a CU throughout their
training, for purposes of establishing their candidacy for the PR. Normally the training
schedule, the training reports and the continuing learning record should provide ECSA
with sufficient information to assess whether or not a CE should be admitted to the
PR. (For the procedure to be followed in respect of CEs who have not trained under a
CU see Chapter 7.)
CEs who are accepted as candidates for the PR will be advised accordingly and they
will be required to present themselves for the PR, which will take place at appointed
centres on pre-scheduled dates.

6.4

At the PR, CEs will firstly be interviewed and be given 15 minutes in which to make a
formal presentation of their project report. Following this presentation, the reviewers
will ask questions to assess whether the CEs have met the standards referred to in
6.2. and in the Training Schedule (Form AC7). The entire interview will normally last
between 45 and 60 minutes, but may extend to 90 minutes at the discretion of the
Reviewers.

6.5

After the interview, CEs will be required to write two essays of one and a half hour's
duration each. Apart from their specific objectives, the essays are also intended to test
CE's ability to communicate clearly, and to marshal their thoughts and express them on
paper in a clear and concise manner.
(i)

(i)

The first essay will be on one of two technical subjects set by the reviewers in the
context of the training/experience report (Form A2.1) and the interview. The primary
purpose is to allow CEs to expand upon particular aspects of their experience and
technical knowledge.
The second essay will be on one of two topics selected by the reviewers from a list of
topics published annually by SAICE. The primary purpose of this essay is to enable
CEs to demonstrate that they have thought sufficiently about the role of the civil
engineer in the community to be able to form a broad view of the social value of their
work. CEs must also demonstrate that their knowledge of modern management
concepts is sufficient to provide a foundation for the development of their leadership
skills.

The list of topics is published annually, one year in advance, by SAICE. Guidelines on the
assessment and grading of essays will be provided in the preamble to each list. Whilst
SAICE will do everything in its power to publish the list as widely as possible, it will be
the responsibility of all CEs to obtain copies of the list well in advance, so as to enable
them to prepare fully for their PR. Copies of the list will be obtainable from SAICE once
the new system of training is announced.
6.6

At the conclusion of the PR, the reviewers will submit their recommendations to ECSA,
where the Professional Advisory Committee on Civil Engineering will moderate and
decide on CEs' registrability, or otherwise.

6.7

Successful CEs will be registered as professional engineers and, if they have applied for
corporate membership, be confirmed by SAICE as corporate members (MSAICE).

6.8

Successful CEs will be required to repeat the PR at some future date, which will depend
on the nature and extent of the CEs deficiencies. CEs who have failed only the essays,
will be required to rewrite the essays at the next scheduled round of PRs, normally six
months later.

Chapter 7
Experience Appraisal
7.1

The applications of candidates (whether registered as CEs or not), who have not
completed their full training under a CU will be subjected to an "experience appraisal".
The purpose of the experience appraisal is to determine whether a person can be
declared a suitable candidate for the PR referred to in Chapter 6.

7.2

Refer to 5.2 for the required documentation.

7.3

The major difference between those persons who have not trained under a CU and
those CEs who have in fact done so, is that the Training Schedule will not have been
certified by a mentor. ECSA will automatically assume that the candidates have not
enjoyed the same quality of guidance, unless the contrary is proved.

7.4

ECSA will assess whether these candidates have demonstrated that they have achieved
the required level of competence and acquired the professional attributes specified in
these guidelines. These candidates must also complete the same Training Schedule
(Form AC7) referred to in 4.2 to 4.6 above, except that they would certify
themselves when and how the training objectives had been met, or have their schedule
certified by a professional engineer who may not be registered as a mentor.

7.5

Before deciding on a person's candidacy for the PR, it may in some cases be necessary
for ECSA to call a person in for an interview.

7.6

If candidates appear not to have achieved the objectives, they will not be granted a PR
at this stage and be advised as to the reasons for refusal to enable them to correct the
deficiencies in their training.

7.7

Once these candidates have corrected their deficiencies, they will be welcome to reapply by submitting details of their remedial actions and ECSA will again assess their
training for purposes of accepting them as candidates for the PR.

7.8

Depending on the circumstances, and assuming they have not trained under a CU,
these candidates may expect to take longer to achieve acceptable competence in all the
prescribed objectives.

Form AC7.1

Training Schedule
PREAMBLE
The Training Schedule presents a convenient way in which CEs can record their progress
towards meeting the registration requirements and will assist them in monitoring and
displaying their achievements which are not covered directly in the project and training
reports.
The following achievement levels (which are progressive, where 2 includes 1, 3 includes 2 and
1 etc), are applied to the various "Training Objectives". The required level of achievement is
indicated for each objective:1.

APPRECIATION
CEs must demonstrate that they have a general appreciation of the subject matter as
well as of the reasons for its inclusion in the training programme.

2.

KNOWLEDGE
CEs must demonstrate that they have sufficient knowledge of how to carry out the
processes that are necessary to meet the objectives. This knowledge would be in
addition to "appreciation" mentioned in 1 above.

3.

EXPERIENCE
CEs must demonstrate that they have, independently or under supervision, performed
the processes relating to each objective. Experience of the relevant techniques and
functions must be gained in addition to "appreciation" and "knowledge" mentioned in
1 and 2 above.

4.

CAPABILITY
CEs must demonstrate that they have the capability, independently or (at most) with
limited guidance, of performing the process and making the decisions required to
reach the objectives of each element and also that they have the capability of leading
or supervising others in the process. This capability must be in addition to
"appreciation", "knowledge" and "experience" stated in 1, 2 and 3 above.

CEs' progress should be assessed, preferably through an interview, by their mentors on a

quarterly basis. These interviews need not be very formal but should be comprehensive
enough to enable the mentors to determine the qualitative aspects of CEs' training.
The column "First Date Involved" in the Training Schedule indicates the date on which the CE
is actually exposed, for the first time, to a training objective. This column will normally be
completed in by the CE. Where an objective indicates a progressive standard, mentors should
initial the relevant column and state the date on which each consecutive standard has been
achieved.
Once the mentors are satisfied that the "Required Level" has been achieved for each specific
"Training Objective", they should initial the relevant column and record their registration
numbers and the dates on which the relevant standards have been achieved. No further
assessment is then required for that specific objective.
At the conclusion of each interview, mentors should also complete the "Interview Record"
(Form AC8), which is intended to show the frequency of interviews held with the CEs.
