OMG Announces Availability of First
Exam Level in Program to Certify
Practitioners of Model-Based Systems Engineering Using SysML
Exam Sponsors Include IBM, Lockheed Martin, Sparx
Systems and No Magic
in partnership with UML Technology Institute
Needham, MA, USA - September 8, 2010 - OMG™ announces
that "Model User," the first exam in the OMG
Certified Systems Modeling Professional™ (OCSMP™)
program is now available. The program's sponsors IBM®,
Lockheed Martin, Sparx Systems and No Magic, Inc., and
partnership with UML Technology Institute Co., Ltd. (UTI),
have made construction and validation of the exams possible.
For more information, please visit http://www.omg.org/ocsmp.
Through this program, OMG will award the OCSMP™
certification at four levels. The first level, OCSMP-Certified
Model User, covers a wide range of essential MBSE and SysML
knowledge and skills and will enhance the résumé of those
who contribute to a model-based systems engineering project.
"Our sponsors and partner UTI have made the OCSMP
program possible and we are excited to be releasing the
first exam on schedule," said Jon Siegel, Ph.D., OMG
Vice President of Technology Transfer and Director of
Certification. "Their continuing support will help
bring the benefits of certification to the field of MBSE,
allowing practitioners to benchmark their skills and
knowledge, and employers to identify and benefit from the
work of these certified systems engineers."
Another important supporter of OCSMP is the International
Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), whose Systems
Engineering (SE) certification CSEP complements OCSMP. By
design, these two programs work together to cover the SE
domain including both conventional and model-based
approaches. For information about the partnership between
OMG and INCOSE, see the May
2009 press release.
Following the successful pattern established by OMG's
three current certification programs developed in
partnership with UTI - OCUP™
for UML® Modelers, OCEB™
for BPM Practitioners, and OCRES™
for Real-time and Embedded Systems Developers -
examinations will be computer-based and administered by
Pearson VUE through their network of secure testing centers.
