Accreditation of Electrical Engineering CPD Courses

Eskom, South Africa's state-owned electricity utility, has published a tender for the accreditation of electrical engineering courses for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, together with the verification of the Eskom Academy of Learning as a CPD service provider. The work must be carried out by a recognised voluntary association in line with the requirements prescribed by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). The contract period is five (5) years.

The scope covers assessing electrical engineering training courses against ECSA CPD criteria, so that participants can earn recognised CPD points toward maintaining professional registration. It also includes verifying that the Eskom Academy of Learning meets the standards required to act as a CPD service provider. The successful bidder will be expected to apply the ECSA framework rigorously, document assessment outcomes, and manage the accreditation and verification process from submission through to formal recognition.

The requirement is aimed at ensuring that electrical engineering professionals within and beyond Eskom have access to quality, credible learning that counts toward their professional development obligations. Bidders should note that the supporting documents (Quality, Commercial and Annexure K Technical folders) contain the detailed evaluation criteria, compliance requirements and pricing structure, and should be reviewed in full before submission. The closing date is 12 November 2026.
