Demonstrating knowledge and experience in the practice of Systems Engineering
There are 4 basic steps to becoming certified at this level.
Once you complete all these steps, the INCOSE Certification Office will send you a congratulatory email. Your ecertificate will come from Accredible. You may also check your certification status through your member profile on the INCOSE web page. The ASEP certification is valid for five years, with a requirement that you maintain your INCOSE individual membership. Before the five years expire, you must submit renewal documentation and fee. Your renewal will also be good for five years.
There are no education, experience, or reference requirements when applying for ASEP. You are not required to have a particular degree or take any preparation courses. You are required to be an individual INCOSE member.
The initial certification period for an ASEP is five years. You may then renew for an additional five years, an unlimited number of times. In order to maintain your certification, you must remain an individual INCOSE member and you must also earn and document continuing education.
No, there is no requirement to start your certification path with ASEP. You may go directly to CSEP or ESEP. If you do start with ASEP, you will not have to retake the knowledge exam when you apply for CSEP. There is no benefit or discount when applying for ESEP if you are already an ASEP.
No action is required for you to get exam results to us; those come to us automatically from our exam providers or from your academic equivalency institution.
