This training prepares you for the "intacs® Certified Competent Assessor (Automotive SPICE®)" examination. To participate, you must already be an intacs® Provisional Assessor with initial assessment experience and practical experience in applying Automotive SPICE®.

Automotive SPICE® v3.1 is used to evaluate and improve development processes in the system and software environment. It is an automotive-specific adaptation of ISO/IEC 330xx. The training facilitates experience exchange among participants and deepens knowledge of the process evaluation model through individual tasks and group work.

• Present topics assigned to you before the training starts.
• Actively participate in the practical components of the training, with evaluations and documentation by the trainer.
• Pass a multiple-choice examination conducted independently at the end of the training. It is recommended to review and follow up on the training material daily.
