Continuing Professional Development (PDUs)
Advance your knowledge. Track your growth.
Professional Development Units (PDUs) demonstrate your continued commitment to learning and the practice of systems engineering. Earn PDUs through activities such as:
- Technical Society Participation: INCOSE events, webinars, workshops
- SE Coursework & Publications: Systems engineering courses, publishing technical papers
- SE Job Functions: Applying systems engineering skills in your professional role
Certification holders must document a minimum of 120 PDUs for renewal.
How to Renew
- Log in to your INCOSE profile
- Renew your SEP at portal.incose.org by selecting the Certification tab and choosing your current certification
- Upload proof of continued professional engagement and pay the renewal fee
- ASEP or CSEP (members and non‑members): Upload a completed PDU Log (Form 13) documenting at least 120 PDUs
- ESEP (non‑members): Upload the ESEP Renewal Form
- ESEP (members): Continued leadership and engagement are verified through active INCOSE membership
INCOSE members receive discounted renewal fees.
Reinstatements (Late Renewals)
Reinstatement requirements and fees for lapsed SEPs depend on the number of months since expiration. A Reactivation Fee, based on the length of lapse, applies in addition to the standard renewal fee. Additional PDUs may also be required, depending on how long the certification has been expired.
