Overview

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification is a highly sought after for those engineers seeking recognition for their education, experience, and knowledge in the highly competitive field of Systems Engineering. Whether you are going for a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) or an Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP),  you need to pass a two-hour, 120-question, multiple-choice exam based on the latest version of the INCOSE SE Handbook. This course helps prepare potential candidates for this demanding exam by making them familiar with the content of the SE Handbook.

This course will help you contextualized the various Organizational, Project and Technical processes that are necessary to realize a “System-of-Interest.” With the aid of a comprehensive Process Flow diagram (created specially for this course), the instructor will walk the students from the Portfolio Management Process to the Disposal Process in a logical and sequential manner, while covering all 31 processes within the INCOSE SE Handbook.

This course also provides the student with numerous quizzes, as well as a sample exam that are based on the structure of the INCOSE SEP Exam. This provides the student with a familiarity and comfort level they’ll need to pass the Exam. These tests are a valuable resource for the student and can be repeated as many times as the student desires.
By the end of the course, the student will:

  • Be well prepared for the INCOSE SEP exam.
  • Understand INCOSE CSEP application process.
  • Have a good grasp of the fundamentals of Systems Engineering, including the understanding of systems engineering management and systems engineering processes, from the INCOSE perspective.
  • Be able to apply the INCOSE SE Handbook to a project.
