Beyond the core knowledge covered in the CSEP level, INCOSE certification also allows for extensions to cover specific disciplines in more detail. There is currently one extension: Acquisition (Acq). Extensions for other domains will be considered in the future, similar to the Acquisition extension for CSEP. These will be proposed by the CAG, submitted to the INCOSE BOD, and then announced via the public web site. Some examples of extensions under consideration include the following:
- Requirements
- Architecture & Design
- Risk & Opportunity Management
Extensions may also be established for various domains or countries to focus attention on the unique aspects of systems engineering in those arenas.
In addition, INCOSE is currently developing the requirements for a senior-level certification that will be called the Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP). The ESEP is:
- Targeted towards systems engineers with significant work experience and demonstrated systems accomplishment.
- ESEPs are certified against accomplishment, experience and education requirements.
- Interviews used to validate significant systems accomplishments
The ESEP certification will be available in 2009
