INCOSE offers paper exams, hosted by Expert Systems Engineering Professionals (ESEPs) based on the INCOSE System Engineering Handbook 4.0. If you are an interested in hosting an INCOSE Knowledge Exam, please contact info@incose.org. Beginning 1 January 2018, individuals will be limited to 3 exams attempts per 12-month period. Current SEPs are not allowed to participate in any exams.

Interested in taking the certification knowledge exam on paper, rather than at a computer? The paper exam has the same format as the standard knowledge exam, with 120 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes. In both cases, candidates will need to arrive thirty minutes prior to the exam’s start to show ID and receive instructions. All candidates will use an answer sheet to record their answers for the paper exam. A HB or Number Two pencil must be used to fill in the answer sheet.

Special Accommodations

Non-native English speakers may request an additional thirty minutes of exam time (in addition to the standard 120 minutes) by submitting a Special Accommodations Request form to the INCOSE Certification Program office. All candidates are also now allowed to bring in a translation dictionary to their exam. This dictionary may not have any notes or modifications, as interpreted by the exam official. These benefits are also available for individuals taking the paper exam and must be requested prior to the start of the exam.

Forms

All Certification Forms including the Certification Application and the Special Accommodations Form are found here: https://www.incose.org/systems-engineering-certification/certification-forms

Candidate Agreement

Each candidate will be asked to read and sign a Candidate Agreement before being allowed to take the exam. The Candidate Agreement details appropriate behavior during and after the test. Please note there are periodical changes made to the agreements. The printed versions the candidate will sign before taking the exam will supersede the online sample. Questions on this topic may also be sent to certification@incose.org.

What is ASEP and CSEP Certification?

Certification ASEP If you have just started practicing – or want to start practicing – systems engineering, then ASEP is for you. This certification is for people at the beginning of their career as a systems engineer. The ASEP has “book knowledge” but not yet significant experience as a systems engineer. If you are a practicing Systems Engineer with more than five years of systems engineering professional work experience, then CSEP is for you.
