intacs® certified Automotive SPICE® Hardware Engineering

Explains the hardware engineering processes in Automotive SPICE® PAM 4.0 and prepares participants for the intacs® certified Automotive SPICE® examination, Extension for Hardware Engineering. Those processes derive from intacs® Hardware SPICE 3.0, which also carries a detailed mapping to ISO 26262:2018.

What it covers

  • Automotive SPICE® PAM 4.0 with a focus on hardware, and the intacs® Hardware SPICE 3.0 model
  • The key concepts of the hardware engineering PRM and PAM
  • The four hardware engineering processes, and the reasoning behind each
  • Where hardware and software development cycles genuinely differ
  • Extending an assessment to hardware, and applying the plug-in concept consistently
  • The VDA guidelines for hardware engineering processes
  • Exam preparation

Practicalities

How certification works

The exam is not ours to award, and the distinction matters — we teach the syllabus and prepare you for an examination administered elsewhere.

The exam is administered by the VDA QMC — for most courses

Not by Envorso. Examination fees are additional to the training price, and the current fees are published by the VDA QMC. Online examinations are run over Zoom, and a working webcam is mandatory. Two courses differ and say so on their own entry: SPICE for Mechanical Engineering is examined by ECQA, and the Automotive SPICE® 4.0 Upgrade has no examination.

Certification is applied for separately

After passing, participants apply to the VDA for certification themselves. That step is independent of the training, and it carries its own fee.

Taught by practising assessors

Every course is delivered by experienced intacs® Certified Principal Assessors with real assessment practice behind them, who are also accredited intacs® instructors. Not by trainers who only teach.

What a place includes

Training documents and a confirmation of participation. Material is in English. For online delivery everything is supplied electronically as PDF.
