Step 2
Once your application has been completed, it's time to prepare for the exam. SE Scholar has finished developing a new course based on INCOSE SE Handbook version 4 (SEHv4), which is the basis of the INCOSE Certification Exam. This course will help you contextualize the various Organizational, Project and Technical processes that are outlined in the Handbook.
With the aid of a comprehensive Process Flow diagram, we will walk you through all 31 Processes from the SE Handbook, from the Project Portfolio Process to the Disposal Process, in a logical and sequential manner, while covering the contents of the entire INCOSE SE Handbook.
Our on-line course includes videos of previous classes, study material, numerous quizzes, as well as a sample exam that are based on the structure of the INCOSE SEP Exam. This provides the student with a familiarity and comfort level they’ll need to pass the Exam. These tests are a valuable resource for the student and can be repeated as many times as the student desires.

Because the INCOSE Exam is used for the ASEP application as well, this course is also suited for those applying for their ASEP designation.
This course is one of the best in the industry because of its comprehensive and logical approach.
“This course takes a very complex topic and gives it structure and cohesion in order to impart knowledge as well as suggest best practices: two thumbs up !”

“Given that some sections of the [Handbook] are very dry, I appreciated Paul’s effort to keep it interesting and engaging. I would think it was difficult, but he managed to keep my attention entire time I attended the class! GREAT job Paul!”
“I just wanted to thank you again for your excellent instruction. .... achieving this certification is a huge accomplishment for me ... You’ve been an instrumental part of this accomplishment. ”
