The SE-ZERT® Program is a part-time continuing education program leading to the “Certified Systems Engineer (GfSE)®” designation, designed to provide participants with the opportunity to develop process- and content-related competencies in the field of systems engineering.
It was developed by GfSE e.V. in collaboration with TÜV Rheinland as a personal certification. The program is thus aligned with the EN ISO/IEC 17024 standard for personnel certification. Accredited training providers prepare participants thoroughly and independently for certification, with their systems engineering knowledge assessed by an examination board from the SE-ZERT® assessor group of GfSE e.V. This ensures a high standard of continuing education.
With an SE-ZERT® certificate, graduates are qualified to work as systems engineers across all industries. The continuing education program is offered worldwide in both German and English.
