Development of the OCSMP™ Certification Program is currently about
half complete. The
program is will award four levels of certification, arranged in a
single hierarchy, based on four multiple-choice examinations. Our committee of
SysML domain experts have already defined program details including the exact array of
exams, their levels, names, and topical coverage. Only writing of the last
few exams, psychometric validation, and publication remains for the
program to be complete. When this work is complete, the
examinations will be published by our test delivery company,
Pearson VUE, in their worldwide network of testing centers.

The
Exams
 |
The program will award the OMG Certified Systems Modeling
Professional certification at four levels. The first
level, OCSMP Model User, covers a wide range of essential MBSE
and SysML knowledge and skills and so enhances the résumé of those who
contribute to a model-based systems engineering project. Building on
this foundation, since all lower levels will be prerequisites for the
levels above, are three levels targeted at model builders and advanced
model users.
These levels, termed OCSMP Model Builder -
Fundamental, Intermediate, and Advanced, cover advanced topics with an
emphasis on the interconnectedness among the different model viewpoints
that gives MBSE its advantage over conventional engineering methods. |
OCSMP
Program
If you're a Systems Engineer, an OCSMP Certification at a
suitable level represents a significant credential that differentiates you from
your peers. Your superiors will think of you when they assign responsibility for
projects based on MBSE, and when they make decisions on promotion or
compensation. If you're making a hiring decision, or awarding a promotion or a
raise, you know that the OCSMP Certified candidate stands out - he or she has
studied the material and practiced the skills required for his level, and will
bring the benefits of MBSE to the projects that they work on. And, if your
company sells engineering services to clients on contract, your certified staff
sets you apart.
The
Companies Behind the OCSMP Program
OMG
and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) worked closely
together on the original development of SysML, and we are very pleased that this
cooperation extends to our certification programs. OCSMP will cover SysML and
its application to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), making it
complementary to INCOSE's comprehensive SE certification program CSEP. INCOSE
plans to help recruit OCSMP question-writers and beta-test takers from their
membership; in addition, each organization will point out the role of the
other's program on certification websites and collateral, and link to the
other's program site. Our two organizations also plan to award a joint
certificate to candidates who acquire both CSEP and OCSMP certification,
although no certification from one organization will be a prerequisite for any
from the other.

About
OMG
 |
The
Object Management Group™ (OMG™) is an
international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry
standards consortium. OMG Task Forces develop modeling and integration
standards for a wide range of technologies and an even wider range of
industries. OMG's Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®) supports the
complete application lifecycle from design, through development and
deployment, to maintenance and evolution. Modeling standards including
the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®), |
| Business Process Modeling and
Notation (BPMN™), and the Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™),
enable powerful visual design for software structure and behavior,
processes in software and business, and virtually every type of
system. OMG's middleware standards and profiles are based on the
Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA®) and support a wide
variety of industries. |
About
the UML Technology Institute The UML
Technology Institute Co., Ltd. was founded to promote the use of open,
standards-based modeling technologies through the development of international
certification programs that provide formal recognition of modeling expertise.
With headquarters in Tokyo, UML Technology Institute was established in November
2002.
