The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) has published the new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) regulations, which came into effect from 5 April 2024, in the Government Gazette. These changes are critical for all registered engineers and aim to build on the established culture of lifelong learning and ensure that South African engineers remain competent and up to date with modern engineering practices. The revised rules will impact both practising and partially retired engineers, setting out new criteria for the renewal of registration and compliance with CPD activities.
