Process expert track

intacs® Certified Process Expert (Automotive SPICE®)

Prepares participants for the intacs® Certified Process Expert Automotive SPICE® examination. Automotive SPICE® is the framework used to evaluate and improve automotive development processes — a tailored version of the ISO/IEC 330xx standards, recommended by the VDA for assessing development projects at OEMs and their suppliers. The course covers how to interpret the processes, which is what assessment and real process improvement both depend on.

What it covers

  • Basic introduction to intacs®
  • Overview of the Process Assessment Model
  • The process dimension
  • The capability dimension
  • Rating scales, and deriving capability level ratings
  • Process improvement techniques
  • Group activities throughout, built on practical examples

Dates and booking

Public cohort dates, prices and registration for this course are held by Bookeo, our scheduling provider. We load it when you ask us to, so nothing third-party runs on this page until you do.

Private and in-house training

If you have several people to certify, a venue in mind, or a need the public schedule does not fit, we run the course privately — in person or online — and tailor the content within the syllabus.

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.
