Secure Your Early Bird Pricing for the Business of Consulting Engineering Management Development Programme

Did you know that by simply registering before 13 December 2024, you will automatically secure the early bird pricing for our Business of Consulting Engineering Management Development Programme (BCE MDP)?
The BCE MDP from the CESA School of Consulting Engineering is one of South Africa’s most prestigious industry-related management development programme.

Young professionals often hit the “invisible ceiling” when climbing the career ladder, with their initial skills set, which not only hinders them from advancing in their careers but also delays them from gaining management experience and rising through the ranks.

This management development programme – the BCE MDP – turns Good Engineers into EXCELLENT Engineers, as it equips consulting engineers with the abilities required to advance their careers and become industry leaders!

Over the years, we have also seen an impressive number of young professionals taking up greater responsibilities in their companies, while others have been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and are thriving on their own in the consulting engineering industry.

Companies that invest and support their employees’ participation in programmes, such as the BCE MDP, are not only improving their financial standing and their Employment Equity targets, but they are cultivating a new generation of leaders who are equipped to navigate the challenges of the modern consulting engineering landscape.

The one-year BCE MDP programme offers engineers and other professionals in the built environment seeking to accelerate their careers in the competitive consulting engineering profession.
