Credits with Real Depth
ECSA Category 1 points on technical topics that go past compliance — current methods you can defend and reuse.
Why us
NRF-rated researchers, Professional Engineers, and practising scientists delivering current-knowledge CPD across civil and environmental engineering — built for South Africa's real infrastructure challenges.
The landscape
ECSA Category 1 points on technical topics that go past compliance — current methods you can defend and reuse.
Courses tied to the infrastructure and water problems your teams face, deliverable on site and ready for procurement.
For consultants and postgraduates who want research-grade content — from coastal and catchment work to AI in civil engineering.
Who leads it
Senior Lecturer in Hydraulics and Environmental Fluid Mechanics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and a registered professional engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa and NRF rated researcher. More than ten years of academic and industry experience in civil engineering, with a focus on hydraulic and coastal work.
He has managed hydraulic engineering projects for the eThekwini Municipality and now leads UKZN's environmental fluid mechanics research group, supervising doctoral and master's research in coastal water quality, river connectivity, stratified mixing and ocean energy. His skills run from advanced numerical modelling to planning and managing field campaigns for hydraulic data.
River connectivity and fish-passage flow measurement · coastal water quality (wozolwandle.com) · stratified turbulent mixing · ocean-current and wave energy · the Purpose-Driven Engineering initiative.

What stands behind every workshop
A validation number on every workshop, certificate and handout — ready for an ECSA audit.
Verified as a CPD provider via IMESA.
Pr Eng registration, NRF rating and published research — credibility you can check.
CPD points and notional hours shown per course, so you know the value before you book.
Worked methods, data and references that stay useful long after the room empties.
Workshops run inside UKZN's engineering labs — the same facilities used for funded research.
