SAEEC FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I do my AEE membership renewal through SAEEC?

Unfortunately we do not handle the AEE Membership

You will have to do it directly on the AEE website, I’ve put the link down for you over here:

Do I need to be a AEE member to renew my AEE Certification?

No you don’t have to be an AEE member. Unless you use the AEE’s online training, workshops and books where you get an AEE member discount it would be more beneficial for you to join the AEE’s South African Chapter the SAEE which is a fraction of the cost (R700 a year). The benefits are more applicable to you in SA then.

You can use the following link to apply for Chapter membership
