Very unprofessional and slow service

I have app**** to register as a professional engineer 7 month ago and I have experience bad service from day 1. <br> <br> You pay close to R7000 with your application but what you get in return is very disappointing to say the least. First they lost half of my application (strange as everything was in the same envelope). I managed to help them find it in their own office after explaining where they might have lost it. But by far my biggest problem with ECSA is the complete un-willingness to help. <br> <br> 1. They never reply to emails<br> 2. You can phone them but they will not answer or you might be lucky enough to get through but then you will just get transferred to someone else which always seems to be out of office or they will just cut you off.<br> <br> They are a disgrace to South African Engineering. After waiting for 6 months I managed to get hold of someone who told me I was 92 on the list and that it will take a minimum of another 4 months before they even get to my application. So in total 10 months to process my application.<br> <br> This is unacceptable from a supposedly professional body.
