CSEP Exam-First Option:
INCOSE has approved the option to take the CSEP Exam first and then submit the remainder of the application (degree, experience, references) second. The Exam-First application form is provided for your convenience.
An INCOSE representative will be at the CSEP course to help applicants submit their application on-site. After submitting the application to INCOSE (via email and US mail signed) and receiving authorization from INCOSE, attendees of the course can schedule the CSEP Exam at the Prometric office in San Diego (or any other Prometric office) within one year. The Exam-First option is a Beta Test: ONLY course attendees can take the Exam- First. If the course and its applicants are successful, then INCOSE will consider opening the Exam-First option up to anyone.
A certificate of course completion will be provided by the Hampton Roads Area (HRA) Chapter and signed by the instructor.
Caution: Applicants must complete the full application process before becoming CSEPs (references, experience, degrees). Until their full application is approved by INCOSE, applicants receive no certificate upon passing the Exam and cannot call themselves CSEPs. The non-refundable full application fee is required up-front with the application. |
