“THE ECA’s Highveld office keeps pushing to better its services to members and the public by seeking new avenues of growth,” says Anthony Schewitz, Regional Director. “We’ve added a new convenient way to communicate with our office via WhatsApp, will host a NBCEI informative session coming up in June and another webinar for contractors who are interested in adding solar PV to their service offering.” He adds that there are more new initiatives in the pipeline that are focused on helping electrical contractors in their daily business.

NBCEI Information session happening in June
There’s a brand-new offering that will cost the attending members nothing but time, which is a NBCEI information session in June, which will give electrical contractors a unique insight into the National Bargaining Council of the Electrical Industry and their legislated main agreement.
As a trial, the sessions will be held on Saturdays to accommodate those who cannot attend during the week due to work commitments.

Ongoing SANS 10142-1 Cover to Cover course
We’ve completed five of the 20 sessions in the SANS 10142-1 Cover to Cover course and we’re a quarter of the way through this course, which is exclusive to the ECA. It’s not too late to join as recordings of previous sessions are available and you have the option of joining only for the sessions that you’re interested in or joining in for the remaining sessions of this journey through SANS 10142-1. This unique course is an in-depth journey that guides you through the standard, and gives clarity on the clauses, their meanings and interpretations, and the various tests.
At only R350 per session for members and R600 per session for non-members, it’s an opportunity not to be missed.
