The Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) became recognised as a professional body by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) in 2013 with the professional designation of Professional Process Controller – Pr. PC Water. Most recently the Department of Water & Sanitation (DWS) has included in Regulation 3630 a requirement that all Class V and Class VI Process Controllers must be professionally registered as a Professional Process Controller with WISA. This ensures high standards are met as well as legislation adhered to.
