OMG Announces MBSE Certification

OMG Announces Program to Certify Practitioners of Model-Based Systems Engineering Using SysML
Founding Sponsors IBM, Lockheed Martin and Sparx Systems
Underwrite Examination Preparation

Needham, MA, USA - November 4, 2009 - OMG™ announces the latest set of examinations to certify practitioners of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using the OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™). The program’s founding sponsors IBM®, Lockheed Martin and Sparx Systems have made construction and validation of the exams possible. For more information, please visit www.omg.org/ocsmp/index.htm.

Through this program, OMG will award the OMG Certified Systems Modeling Professional™ (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. Building on this foundation (since all lower levels will be prerequisites for the higher levels) are three levels targeted at model builders and advanced model users. These levels, termed OCSMP-Certified Model Builder - Fundamental, Intermediate, and Advanced, cover advanced topics with an emphasis on higher level applications of SysML and the interconnectedness among the different model views that gives MBSE its advantage over conventional engineering methods.
