What is INCOSE SEP Certification?
Certification is a formal process whereby a community of knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled representatives of an organization, such as INCOSE, provides confirmation of an individual’s competency (demonstrated knowledge, education, and experience) in a specified profession. Certification differs from licensing in that licenses are permissions granted by a government entity for a person to practice within its regulatory boundaries. Certification also differs from a “certificate” that documents the successful completion of a training or education program. There are three types of INCOSE SEP certification: ASEP, CSEP, and ESEP. Please read more here.
What is Systems Engineering Professional Exam?
The SEP test is a 2-hour exam designed to test your knowledge of INCOSE systems engineering practices and processes. Please read more here. Once you pass the test, you will apply for either the Associative Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) or Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP).
What is a Cohort?
A Cohort is team of students preparing for a common goal. The SEP Cohorts will prepare for the INCOSE SEP exam (now offered online). The Cohort teams are mostly student-run, where each participant (also called a cohort) forms part of a 2-person team that presents a chapter to the others, which reinforces learning. Each Cohort includes two or more Cohort leaders that provide the virtual connection software, schedule, introductions, website, and some of the course material, and work to solve any roadblocks the teams might encounter.
What You Will Need
- The INCOSE Handbook, Version 4 (the e-book version free for INCOSE members – see https://connect.incose.org/store)
- Access (we will use Zoom)
- Willingness to participate and present to the others in the Cohort
- Ready to work hard
