The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) recognizes certain voluntary associations of which membership can be obtained by professionals. A requirement from ECSA is that the associations are encouraged to present CPD activities, as well as assist their members in identifying CPD activities initiated by private providers.

The registered voluntary associations are used as vehicles by ECSA to validate and monitor courses, seminars and conferences offered for CPD credits by these private providers to ensure that the activities are of adequate standard.

The Mining and Industrial Energy Optimization (MIEO) association is proud to announce that the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE), a recognized voluntary association of ECSA, has accredited the MIEO seminars with 1 CPD point. The value of seminars hosted by the MIEO is ensured to enhance the knowledge, skills and competence of participants, as well as meeting the educational and development needs. Presenters’ knowledge, as well as practical and academic experience, has been verified, as well as the depth and breadth of the subject matter presented.

The South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) has validated the MIEO seminar as a 1 day symposium for 1 CPD credit. The credit pertains to the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) Category 1: Developmental Activities requirement of which a maximum of 4 credits is awarded annually toward ECSA registration renewal.
