SCE is a division of CESA NPC and is independently verified as a Level 2 Contributor in accordance with the Code of Good Practice of the Broad‑Based Black Economic Empowerment (B‑BBEE) Act.

In addition, all training can be included in an organisation’s SETA Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and Annual Training Report (ATR) submission, strengthening compliance and skills development initiatives.
With a portfolio of over 120 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses, validated by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) and, in selected courses, the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) and the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP), the School empowers consulting engineers, their teams, clients, and industry stakeholders to build technical expertise alongside essential business, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills.
