Process for Educational Evaluation 57 Discipline 64 Discipline 64 Discipline 64 Category: 64 1. The professional development process2There are four main stages in the development of engineering professionals: School Education: achievement of literacy, numeracy and a first level of mathematics, science and language proficiency; Higher Education: completion of an accredited programme and the attainment of a required level of engineering education; Candidacy Phase: a programme of training and experience that builds on the higher education qualification to develop the competencies required for registration; Practice as a Registered Person: registration certifies that the person has demonstrated, through work performed, that he or she has satisfied the generic baseline competency standards for the profession and is permitted to practice and take responsibility for engineering work for which he or she is competent by virtue of education, training and experience This guide applies to the candidacy phase during which time, graduates register as Candidates with ECSA to undergo workplace training and gain experience3 to develop the competencies required for registration.
2. Registration as Candidate4It is strongly recommended for graduates to register as Candidates in the relevant category as early as possible in the training process, preferably on graduation from an accredited or recognised educational programme. Registration as a Candidate is intended for persons who have completed their engineering education and are training toward registration. Registration as a Candidate serves several purposes: Signals the person’s intent to seek registration; Confirms that educational requirements have been met; Provides access to mentoring, information and advice; Provides an environment for planning and monitoring the Candidate’s training and experience; and Clarifies the position of the as yet unregistered person with respect to performing identified engineering work. Each professional category has a corresponding Candidate category where the requirement for registration is that the educational requirements for the category must have been met: Candidate Engineer; Candidate Engineering Technologist; Candidate Certificated Engineer; and Candidate Engineering Technician. In the case of an applicant for registration as a professional who is not registered as a Candidate, the educational standing of the applicant is evaluated within the registration process. 3. The Training process5Candidates are required to gain structured workplace training and experience with the support of a Mentor (registered professional) at an employer over a period of usually three to five years against ECSA competencies. The focus of candidacy programmes is not on attending courses but on gaining work experience in a team. Candidates should therefore engage in a sequence of activities that may be the completion of a particular aspect of training or unit of work as shown as a development phase: 
Each of the development phases consists of the following four sequenced activities: Planning Working in a team (including training) Recording & Reporting Assessing & Reviewing The training process is governed by standards, policies and procedures. For each of the development phases, the Candidate, working with the supervisor and mentor, sets and documents the competency development objectives of the phase. At the end of the phase, they view the achievements of the just-completed phase against the objectives that were set for the phase. Objectives are then set for the next phase. When selecting engineering tasks and agreeing on activities for Candidates to work on during the next few months the following three principles must be followed: 1. A variety of work activities6 is necessary for the proper development of a Candidate. The object of having a variety of work is to broaden the experience of the Candidate and to ensure that all aspects of competency are developed and ultimately assessed. 2. Increasing responsibility and accountability within the organisation must be imposed on and accepted by the Candidate until he or she is capable of accepting professional responsibility in making and executing decisions at the full performing level. The descriptors defined in Table 1 should be used to ensure increased levels of responsibility. 3. The activities must focus on the competencies to be developed. The training process may involve structured activities including induction and training courses on specific skills or technologies. The Candidate should also participate in self-initiated professional development activities, termed initial professional development activities.
