Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML®) Certifications

SysML® Certifications Structure

Overview of Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML®) Certifications

OMG-Certified Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML®) Professional (OCSMP) certifications represent the industry stamp of approval of an individual's SysML modeling and analysis ability. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 10% growth rate in employment opportunities for qualified industrial engineers, including systems engineers, by 2026. This 10% represents a faster growth rate than the overall job market.

SysML & MBSE experts (many of whom co-authored the SysML specification) designed the OMG-Certified SysML Professional (OCSMP) exams to meet the industry need for a more qualified MBSE workforce.

There are four SysML certification exams: Model User (MU), Model Builder Fundamental (MBF), Model Builder Intermediate (MBI) and Model Builder Advanced (MBA). Use the tabbed section below to gain more detailed information on each exam.

SysML Certification process

1

Determine if you're eligible for an academic, INCOSE, member, military, or retake Discount. We also offer discounted bulk exam vouchers.

2

Create/sign into your Pearson VUE account, via which you can book and cancel your exams as well as access your score reports.

3

During/after Training (optional) or Self Preparation (use exam info sheets below) schedule & pay (using a discount code if applicable) for your exam via your Pearson VUE account. Schedule at a secure test center or online.

4

Once you pass your exam, immediately Claim and Share your Credly Digital Credentials (check your inbox and junk folder for an email from [email protected]) with your peers. Print a .pdf or hardcopy of your certificate.

5

If you fail your exam, Request A 30% Exam Retake Discount with an attached copy of your Pearson VUE score report.

 

The SysML Model User (prerequisite to the remaining SysML MB exams) certification exam tests an individual's knowledge and skills required to interpret a basic SysML model of a system, covering system behavior, structure, and requirements as well as cross-cutting constructs. With a SysML Model User certification, an individual will be a productive contributor (e.g., junior systems engineer) in interpreting models within a systems engineering team employing a MBSE approach using SysML. The SysML Model User exam is now available in Japanese! Click the blue button below to view and download detailed exam information.

The SysML Model Builder Fundamental (prerequisite to the remaining SysML MB exams) certification exam tests an individual's knowledge and skills required to construct a basic SysML model of a system, covering model concepts and organization, purposes and benefits of modeling a system, basic requirements for capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and use of stereotypes. With a SysML Model Builder Fundamental certification, an individual will be a productive contributor (e.g., reliability engineer or quality test engineer) in modeling tasks performed by a systems engineering team employing a MBSE approach using SysML. The SysML Model Builder Fundamental exam is now available in Japanese! Click the blue button below to view and download detailed exam information.

EXAM INFO SHEET

The SysML Model Builder Intermediate (prerequisite to the SysML MBA exam) certification exam tests an individual's knowledge and skills used to develop system models using the full SysML feature set enabling more detailed and precise modeling of requirements, structure, behavior, and parametric constraints as well as those needed to define inter-relationships among model elements and diagrams, and assess aspects of model quality including conformance to language and method constraints. With a SysML Model Builder Intermediate certification, an individual is fit to be a system modeling lead on a project or a top-ranked team member (e.g., lead systems engineer) who contributes independently to the model or system.

EXAM INFO SHEET

The SysML Model Builder Advanced certification exam tests an individual's knowledge and skills required to establish and support a systems modeling culture and environment, leveraging the capabilities of SysML and MBSE across the organization. High level topic areas include concepts for adapting SysML (e.g., metamodeling, profiles, model libraries and viewpoints), approaches to integrating SysML with other modeling languages (e.g., UML, MARTE, UPDMTM, and Modelica), approaches to integrating SysML modeling tools with other types of engineering tools (requirements management tools and configuration management tools) and methodology-related concepts and practices (e.g., assessment of the quality of the model). With a SysML Model Builder Advanced certification, an individual will play a lead role in establishing SysML-based MBSE at an enterprise or extending its penetration into new departments or product areas as well as define and establish new projects and support them through their lifecycle.
