Systems Engineering Certification - NotJoeBiden - 03-30-2024

Wanted to post about the Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certifications offered through INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering). They currently offer 3 certificates based on experience levels: ASEP (Associate Systems Engineering Professional), CSEP (Certified Systems Engineering Professional), & ESEP (Expert Systems Engineering Professional)

Systems engineering, and CSEP certification, is popular in government contract agencies, defense, aerospace, manufacturing and becoming more widely used in many other industries such as medical, software development, and other tech fields. 


Uniquely, this certification does not have a college degree requirement, so anyone who can pass the SEP exam can automatically be certified ASEP. 5+ years experience is enough for CSEP, and 20+ for ESEP, though CSEP is typically the terminal. It also allows those who do not have a degree in engineering to learn and practice the discipline.

It does have a cost at $180 for ASEP and $350 for CSEP, but like I said, it is growing in popularity and may be covered by your employer if they offer tuition assistance.

While the exam can be passed simply by learning the handbook (which is free with the INCOSE membership required for certification), there are a few other good resources:

INCOSE offers prep videos with membership
There is a solid and cheap Udemy course
Unofficial study guide and test bank
Tons of free Quizlet practice problems

Hope this is helpful for anyone interested in systems engineering certification.
