Your application for registration will be considered only when the referee reports have been received by the
Council. If a referee report does not reach Council within a reasonable time, you will be notified
accordingly. You will then be expected to get in touch with the referee on the matter.
The registration process may take 6 (six) months or longer to complete and each applicant will be
informed of the Councils decision as soon as it becomes available.
Information regarding the progress of any application will not be given telephonically.

Please note also that it is your responsibility to ensure that all reports reach Councils offices timeously.

B. The Application Form:

The following information is given to assist applicants to complete this form - the numbers refer to the equally

Information Sheet
for completion of the
Training / Experience Report
Your application for registration as a Professional Engineer must be accompanied by the
Training/Experience Report (Forms AN2.1) in which your engineering experience from the date of obtaining
the first engineering degree to the date of application is recorded in chronological order and typed or printed in
black ink.
Use a separate form for each training/experience period.
Number the periods in chronological order, which may not overlap.
Cover the period from graduation to date of application.

See also section 4.3 and Table 3 of R-03-PE.

A training/experience period ends when:

your work environment has changed, e.g. 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 training is interrupted (for instance by study or prolonged illness).

The training/experience periods and periods of interruption must also be noted in the Summary of
Training/Experience Reports (Form AN2.3). Ensure that each Form AN2.1 is signed (verified) by your
relevant supervisor or employer and signed by yourself. If you cannot obtain the supervisor's signature,
please annotate accordingly in the appropriate block and submit an affidavit to the effect that the information
provided is true and correct, and the reasons why you could not contact the supervisor. If supporting
documentation is appended, sign each document and indicate to which training/experience period it refers.

In the Training/Experience Report you should write in the 1 st person and for each period you are expected to
show:

Organogram showing supervisor(s), co-workers and those you supervised (if any). Show two levels
above and below, if these exist. Give names, positions and registration (if any)
Nature of training or experience
Nature of problem(s) addressed in this period; method of analysis, developing solution and
evaluation
Documentation, reports, presentations prepared
Management of materials, machines, manpower, methods or money, contracts
Interaction with clients, stakeholders and other disciplines
Health and safety considerations; hazards and environmental considerations; other legislation
Completion of any courses relevant to your professional development

For the Degree of Responsibility block, use the scale A-E defined in section 4.3 of R-03-PE.

Describe the work you did. Do not just list tasks and projects but explain your role to what degree you were
exposed or actually responsible for the work done. Do not spend more than one paragraph describing the
project you worked on.

Mature applicants: i.e those with at least 10 years of post graduate experience, need not hand in lengthy
experience reports (Form AN2.1) in respect of the earlier years of their career. The applicant must report at
least three years at degree of engineering responsibility E (Performing) in detail in the TER format that are
signed by the supervisor. Such periods need not include the last period(s) in the applicants TES if the
degree of responsibility is not E. Such an applicant may submit Training and Experience Outlines (TEO) for
the remaining periods or groups of related periods. See also section 4.3 and Table 3 of R-03-PE.
The Councils requirements for registration as set out in Competency Standard R-02-PE remain the basic
requirements for registration.

The total Training/Experience Report should not exceed 2000 words.

me for the purpose of this application

Date: Word Count:

Holistic Self Evaluation

Engineering Council of South Africa (05/10/2016) Sheet
AN3

Information and Instructions for completing Engineering Report:

1. This is a report in which the applicant reflects on his or her engineering development and proficiency
achieved as exemplified by work completed. Work completed is not necessarily in a single project.

2. Write the report in conventional prose form, using the first person singular when describing your actions
or thinking.

3. The report should cover each competency required for registration as a professional engineer,
competency by competency, and should reflect by cross reference to TERs how this competency was
developed. Sufficient evidence must be provided beyond what is given in short in the TERs to
demonstrate that the applicant has acquired the competency concerned.

a) Refer also to document R-03-PE section 4.5 and note the checklist in that section.
b) Insert one heading or paragraph in each row. Do not insert boundary lines between rows.
c) Insert cross references to TERs in the text by number where appropriate. For example, As
described in TER 3, I designed a .
d) Against relevant paragraphs, insert annotations that indicate that the material shown provides
evidence of competent performance against the specific outcome as defined in R-02-PE. Use the
following Notation:
1, 2, 3 : The outcomes defined in R-02-PE demonstrated
CEP : Engineering Problem referred to meets Complex Engineering Problem descriptor
CEA : Engineering Activity referred to meets Complex Engineering Activity descriptor
DoR x : Degree of Responsibility x = degree from A to E (See R-03-P, section 4.3)

This is very important, and forms not complying to this, will not be assessed and will be returned to
the applicant and can considerably delay your application.

4. Observe the length limits of 6 000 words maximum. Insert the word count (main column only) in the
space provided. Diagrams, tables, design calculations and other illustrations may be inserted in the
main column to demonstrate competency but must not exceed a total of more than four page heights. In
the case of Mechanical applicants, they are advised that it is in their best interest to submit design
calculations, limited to four pages as mentioned above. These are not included in the word count. The
length limit (text and illustrations) will be strictly enforced.

5. In the holistic self evaluation block, state in 200 words or less, why the information given above
demonstrates that you are sufficiently competent to be registered as a Professional Engineer.

6. The Engineering report should form the basis of the presentation that the applicant makes at the
professional review.

REFEREE GUIDELINE
for the completion of the Referee Report
Professional Engineers
1. AIM

The referee report is a necessary and supplementary document to the applicant's application for
registration as a professional engineer with ECSA. The aim is to convey to the Council, on a
confidential basis, the personal knowledge which the referee or the employer has of the applicant and
in the process to make a reasoned evaluation of the applicant's competence.

2. GENERAL

A professional responsibility rests on the professional engineer to provide guidance to the applicant
during his/her professional development. This task also includes the correct and accurate completion
of the report. The Council attaches great value to the information that is supplied by the referee.
There is no reason why internal mentors cannot act as referees or give assistance to referees or
employers in respect of these aspects during the applicant's period of training.

The applicant has been advised that referees may be chosen in the following order of preference:

(a) Mentor
(b) Immediate supervisor
(c) Colleague at a higher or the same level, involved with the applicants work
(d) Indirect supervisor
(e) Colleague not directly involved with the applicants work
(f) Employer
(g) Client

If the applicant trained under a C&U, the registered mentor for the C&U concerned, must provide one
of the referee reports. The Referee Report should be returned directly to ECSA by the referee.
Referees are requested to have their assessments typed or to complete the report in legible block
letters using black ink to ensure clear copying, since written assessments are frequently not very
legible and to the detriment of the applicant.

3. MOTIVATION OF RECOMMENDATION FOR REGISTRATION

It is necessary that the referee or employer be able clearly and strongly to motivate his/her opinion in
respect of the applicant's readiness for registration. The referee must, when supplying reasons,
consider the minimum registration requirements, in other words the referee, himself/herself must be
familiar with the content of the Council's Competency Standard R-02-PE.

4. EVALUATION

The level of competency required for registration as a professional Engineer is defined in the
Competency Standards, document R-02-PE. Competency is defined in terms of eleven outcomes
and two level definitions, namely complex engineering problems and complex engineering activities.
The applicant is expected to have demonstrated performance at a degree of responsibility
appropriate to a Professional Engineer for at least one year.

As a referee, you are asked to rate the applicant against the outcomes as well as make a holistic
evaluation. Please use the following scale:
CDC: The applicant consistently demonstrates competence
CDI: The applicant has demonstrated competence but not consistently
CNDD: The applicant has not demonstrated competence but is developing
CND: The applicant has not demonstrated competence
X: I am unable to comment
Please enter your comments in the third column, giving your reasons for assigning the particular
rating. Where a rating CDI, CNDD, or CND is given, please clearly state the reason(s) for assigning
this rating.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

ECSA undertakes to protect the confidentiality of all the information received from the referee.
 Addendum A
(27 March 2012)
