Summary<br />
This two-day course walks through the CSEP<br />
requirements and the INCOSE Handbook Version 3.1<br />
to cover all topics on the CSEP exam. Interactive work,<br />
study plans, and sample examination questions help<br />
you to prepare effectively for the exam. Participants<br />
leave the course with solid knowledge, a hard copy of<br />
the INCOSE Handbook, study plans, and a sample<br />
examination.<br />
Attend the CSEP course to learn what you need.<br />
Follow the study plan to seal in the knowledge. Use the<br />
sample exam to test yourself and check your<br />
readiness. Contact our instructor for questions if<br />
needed. Then take the exam. If you do not pass, you<br />
can retake the course at no cost.<br />
