INCOSE CSEP Training

CSEP Training, Become CSEP Cerified by attending TONEX CSEP Certification Training and get 13 PE credits. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) is a highly sought after certification by individuals and companies and for those engineers seeking recognition in the highly competitive field of Systems Engineering for their education, many years of experience, and  skills and knowledge.

TONEX’s CSEP Certification Training, a 3 – day CSEP Exam Preparation Course goes over important concepts for the 2 hour CSEP exam based on INCOSE manuals.

TONEX’s CSEP Certification Training, an interactive course, will place you in the best position to pass your CSEP examination on the first attempt or you can attend the course again free of charge.

To obtain a CSEP you have to demonstrate your real world experience via a formal application that includes professional references and more. CSEP Certification Training will help you with this process. You also need to pass a two-hour, 120-question, multiple-choice exam. TONEX CSEP certification training course helps you to prepare  certification exam by introducing  the systems engineering principals through INCOSE SE Handbook, which is the basis for the examination. Students will also learn the requirements for a successful CSEP application.

Upon completion of the CSEP Training class, the participant will:

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

Targets: INCOSE’s CSEP Training certification is targeted towards systems engineers with five or more years of systems engineering work experience. INCOSE also offers an Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP), targeted towards junior/emerging systems engineers and recent college graduates with limited systems engineering work experience.

Why is Systems Engineering Important to the Industry?

Students who lack the work experience required for the CSEP should pursue the ASEP. The CSEP and ASEP certifications share the same examination and application form, so our CSEP Preparation course is equally well suited for both CSEP and ASEP applicants.

Prerequisites

Students should have a background in Systems Engineering prior to attending this course. Tonex  CSEP Training  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 Training 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.

ABOUT CSEP TRAINING AND OTHER  INCOSE CERTIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAMS

Which Program is Right for Me?

• One of the benefits of enrolling in TONEX’s INCOSE Certification Training is the personalized assistance we can provide in determining the appropriate certification level based on your career level. All certification levels, with the exception of CSEP, require ongoing INCOSE membership. Below are some general guidelines about certification – contact us today to discuss your unique situation.

Certification Criteria

• ASSOCIATE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL (ASEP): Systems engineers with less than five years of systems engineering work experience, spanning less than three functional areas.
• CERTIFIED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL (CSEP): Systems engineers possessing more than five years of direct work experience across more than three functional areas, who have professional references that can speak to this experience.
• EXPERT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL (ESEP): Systems engineers with at least 25 years of work experience (20 years if CSEP), professional leadership, and systems engineering accomplishments, substantiated by at least three work-related references.

Why CSEP?

• CSEP servers the Systems engineering community to create the standard to identify and develop systems engineering professional and establishes a formal, recognized body of knowledge for the systems engineering community
• For System engineering professionals it provides a portable standard of recognition for attainment of knowledge, education, and experience
• and for Organizations/institutions, it will play as a universal, industry-approved measure of a professional’s knowledge–achieved through the independent evaluation of relevant tasks, projects, and programs
