Become an Assessor

intacs® Certified Provisional Assessor (Automotive SPICE® 4.0)

Prepares participants for the intacs® Certified Provisional Assessor (Automotive SPICE®) examination, building on knowledge already acquired in the Process Expert training. The focus is what a co-assessor does: supporting a Certified Competent Assessor during assessments, in your own company or at a supplier, and turning assessment results into process improvement. Homework assignments are set and presented during the course, and active participation throughout is what makes it work.

What it covers

  • Recapitulation of the core elements of Automotive SPICE®
  • The process and capability dimensions, in more depth
  • Rating mechanism and rating rules
  • The assessment process
  • Sampling work products for rating
  • Interview technique, and how to take notes
  • Deriving objective evidence statements
  • Group activities throughout

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 accredited intacs® instructors

Every course is delivered by experienced industry experts and active Principal assessors, who are also accredited intacs® instructors. Not by trainers who only teach.
