About this course

Structured preparation for the INCOSE knowledge examination, organised around the Systems Engineering Handbook, Fifth Edition. Five modules cover exam strategy, systems concepts and lifecycle foundations; technical processes for system definition (business or mission analysis, stakeholder needs, requirements, architecture and design, system analysis); technical processes for realisation and use (implementation, integration, verification, transition, validation, operation, maintenance and disposal); technical-management and enabling processes (planning, assessment and control, decision, risk and configuration management, information, measurement, quality assurance, agreement and organisational project-enabling processes); and cross-cutting methods, tailoring scenarios, timed question sets and a mock examination with weak-area diagnosis.

INDENTRA states that the course prepares participants for the knowledge examination only: it does not award ASEP or CSEP, candidates must meet INCOSE's other requirements, and no INCOSE endorsement is implied.
