Course 915: INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP)

Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) is targeted towards Systems Engineers with five or more years work. CSEPs are certified against experience, education, and knowledge requirements
SE Disciplines Qualifying for SE Experience include:

• Requirements Engineering
• Risk and Opportunity Management
• Baseline Control
• Technical Planning
• Technical Effort Assessment
• Design Development
• Qualification, Verification, and Validation
• Process Definition
• Tool Support
• Training
• System Integration
• Quality Assurance
• Specialty Engineering
  

TONEX CSEP Bootcamp program provides SE professionals with knowledge and tools to prepare for the INCOSE Certification application and exam.

Our experienced instructors work with you, tailoring the Boot Camp content to your needs. We can even conduct Boot Camp onsite at your business! Using real-life examples and interactive exercises, we teach practical ways to maintain your valuable systems engineering principals needs.

TONEX assists the students in completion of the process for certification providing examples of the following forms:

• Application for Systems Engineering Certification
• Instruction Letter to References
• Certification Reference Endorsement Form

Once the application has been approved by INCOSE, TONEX will schedule the course attendees for the exam at one of the Prometric locations. There are no prescheduled group examinations at any events.
