ISO 15288 was published on 15 May 2015.  The INCOSE SE Handbook version 4 (SEHv4) is directly linked to this international standard, and we now anticipate SEHv4 being published mid July.  The INCOSE Certification exam based on SEHv4 will be available at Prometric centers starting in September 2015.  In addition, we are going to continue offering the current exam, based on SE Handbook version 3.2 through 31 December 2015.  Extended transition schedules are available for candidates from Germany, Korea and China.

The current exam will remain our default for all candidates unless they submit Form 10, New Exam Request to us indicating their desire to test on the new exam prior to the mandatory transition in January 2016.  There will be a short blackout period in early January when no exams should be taken.
