ESEP FAQs:
How long does the ESEP review process take?
Our review and processing typically takes two to three months. The review starts once all of an applicant’s materials, including references and proof of degree, are received. If the review team have questions, you may be emailed to provide clarification.
In this case the review team waits until the candidate submits an update. The longest delay in an ESEP review is the scheduling of interview with the applicant and, if necessary, references.
During busy times of year, particularly when our volunteers are unavailable due to holidays, reviews may take longer. Candidates concerned about delays in their review should check their member profile at incose.org to see if all references have been
received.
For how long is an ESEP certification valid?
An Expert Systems Engineering Professional Certification is valid for the duration of an individual’s INCOSE membership. No certification renewal is required.
Are the interview questions for ESEP similar to the exam questions for ASEP and CSEP?
No, the interview is about an individual’s technical leadership experience, not a knowledge check of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
Where should the reference forms be submitted ?
You have to provide information to your References on where to find the reference form (Form 4B). Once the form is filled, please have your References submit Form 4B directly to sep-reference@incose.net
