Introduction to Viscar CPD programmes.
Viscar industrial Capacity has been accredited to offer CPD Training Programs for
Engineers by the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK).
The Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) in pursuant of Section 7(1)(q) of the Engineers
Act 2011 is implementing the Continous Professional Development (CPD) Policy for
Engineers. This policy seeks to develop and continuously improve the competency of
engineers in Kenya. The CPD Programs began in January 2018. According to Section
32(2) of the Act, Consulting and Professional Engineers seeking to be issued with a
practicing license must present a certificate of CPD issued by the Board. Graduate
Engineers with over 3 years of experience are also expected to complete the allocated
Professional Development Units for their names to be maintained in the register, such
evidence will be required for successful registration as a professional engineer. The
Board has therefore instituted a CPD system beginning January 2018 which will be
linked to renewal and registration of licences for all the categories of registration as per
the CPD Policy starting 1st of January 2019.
The CPD Policy was objectively designed to ensure:
• Improvement in professional competence of local engineers and engineering firms
• Keeping abreast with changing procedures and standards
• Understanding and application of advances in technology
• Better service to the Engineering Profession, community and environment
• Assistance of practicing engineers towards increase in capacity for learning so as to
be more capable, confident and adaptable to change
• Broadening into related fields such as finance, management or legal aspects in order
to increase work performance and enhance career prospects for engineers
Continous Professional Development (CPD) is described as integration of techniques,

ideas and approaches that help an individual, manage their own career growth and
learning. It involves ensuring that your skills, knowledge and experience are relevant
and up to date. It can be termed as ‘a professional obligation to learn.’’
Continous Professional Development is an integral element of a successful engineering
career. A CPD Program provides a framework to identify a plan for acquiring further
skills and knowledge needed. It involves activities that helps practicing engineers:
• Fulfil present and future roles effectively
• Maintain high standard of professional competence
• Expand their knowledge
• Maintain up-to-date technical skills
• Progress their engineering career
• Grow their professional networks and contacts
• Attain and maintain your professional status.
• Enhance their competitiveness in the ever-dynamic job marke

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING INCORPORATING MS-
PROJECT - 12 PDUs
Course Overview
In recent years project management skills have become more of a general management
tool than the sole preserve of the specialist project manager. Everybody now
recognizes the importance of delivering business results to specification, on time and
within budget, and that is exactly what project management skills enable you to do -
even if it is not officially called a ‘project’. The ability to successfully manage projects
from beginning to end, no matter their size, is a highly desirable skill. This importance
cannot be over emphasized especially in enhancing the productivity and performance
of practicing engineers most of whom work as project managers.
In this course, the project management trainees will apply the generally recognized
practices of project management necessary to successfully manage projects.
Learning Outcomes
• This project management training will teach you the importance of time and setting
of goals and objectives. You will be able to prioritize these goals as well assist you
making great use of your time.
• You will know the remaining resources and needs of the company. This could be in
the form of time, money or manpower. You can make use of project management
training to help you determine how to estimate the resources that you will need in
future projects and set realistic budgets.
• You will learn how to produce documents for review. Every step before, during
and on completion of the project should be documented. This will ensure a solid
record that you can refer to or verify during review. Project management training
will provide you with the skills that you need in producing well documented project
completion proofs.
• With this project management training you can work better with information
systems. Project management is not done manually – in this day and age! You can
already make use of several applications and programs to keep track of the mile
stones and progress of your projects. Project management training will show you
how to work around them without creating much steeper learning curve, especially
to those people who do not have great knowledge of computers or are not
comfortable using them.
Target Audience:
Middle-Level Managers, Project Managers, Project Coordinators, Engineers and ICT
