Get your ASPICE® Lead Assessor Qualification in 5 Steps

Today almost all components in cars are mechatronic systems with increasing complexity. Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cyber Security are critical aspects to be considered in developing these car components. To qualify as a supplier, OEMs require development processes compliant to capability level CL 2 or even CL 3 in Automotive SPICE®. In other words: to deliver software-driven components, you must be fit in ASPICE®.

Automotive SPICE® Trainee Program

Automotive SPICE® assessments provide the required evidence in the project about the capacity of the processes. During such an analysis a large number of simple activities are checked, which everyone expects from common sense in a development project. However, the number of individual process requirements can only be met by a systematic approach. Many process specifications are only insufficiently implemented in practice and in order to successfully improve the development processes, companies in the automotive industry train their personnel in ASPICE. A proven way to achieve higher skill levels is the training of key positions in the project as certified Provisional Assessors. They can then act as co-assessors in the assessment team to build a substantial understanding of process improvement.
