More information about the training
1. Objective
Participants are empowered to lead an assessment as lead assessor from preparation, implementation to follow-up. You will learn how to involve co-assessors and how they act as an assessment team. Practical examples and role-playing games reinforce the theoretically learned content.
You will be perfectly prepared for the exam, which is necessary for certification as a competent assessor.
2. Content
The content of this training is based on the curriculum published by intacs®. The training material is the accredited standard training material from intacs®. To successfully complete Competent Assessor Training, you must demonstrate your competence in three ways:
· Prepare individual tasks and present the solution in a presentation
· Active participation in the practical parts of the training
· Written multiple choice exam
We work together to identify the most important ideas and concepts and look at the practices of the most important processes (VDA Scope). We explain the relationships and internal dependencies in accordance with the VDA Automotive SPICE® Guideline v2.0. For this purpose, participants are assigned tasks in advance, which they prepare in the form of a presentation and present the solution as part of the training.
We will learn the process of an assessment and reinforce it with practical exercises. For this purpose, participants are given tasks that they complete in small groups while respecting the time limits and then present them. Particular attention is paid to assessment planning and the correct application of the “NPLF” assessment scheme. In the final presentation of the results, participants learn how to present the core results from the assessment.
This training is mostly practical. We conduct many exercises and discussions to enable participants to apply the new knowledge to their own work environment. We practice the methodology repeatedly in written exercises and role-playing games. We conduct several practice exams to perfectly prepare participants for the exam.
3. Target group
This training is aimed at people who already have detailed experience with Automotive SPICE® and would like to learn the role of lead assessor in order to be able to lead their own assessments in the future.
Please note that further qualification certificates in the form of proven assessment participation and an assessed practice assessment are required for training and certification as a Comptent Assessor.
For details on certification, please visit the official INTACS website.
Note: Knüvener Mackert also offers assessment participation and the assessed practice assessment

The exam process
The test is carried out by the VDA-QMC.
You will be registered for the exam even before the training. Late registrations during training are still possible in some cases.
During the training, you will be optimally prepared for the exam: comprehensible theory, illustrative practical examples, in-depth exercises and, last but not least, test exams.
The exam is conducted as an online exam; you need a stable Internet connection and a webcam with microphone to take part. Please ensure that you have the technical infrastructure for the exam well in advance of the examination date. We use two applications, Zoom and Socrative. You will receive an invitation from us to a Zoom session and the login details for Socrative during the exam meeting. The current examination languages are English, German and Japanese.
The exams are carried out as a dual choice. You will be shown short statements, which you should answer correctly with “true” or “false.” You pass the exam with at least 75% correct answers.
The examination consists of around 15 statements per training day, i.e. 60 statements during a 4-day seminar, for example. The duration of the test in minutes is calculated from 1 minute per statement/question plus a flat rate of 15 minutes (for example 75 minutes for a 4-day training session). If you are not a native speaker in at least one of the exam languages and have difficulty understanding the exam language, you will be given 1/3 more exam time upon request (for example, a further 25 minutes and therefore a total of 100 minutes instead of 75 minutes for a 4-day training session).
Participants may not copy or distribute the exam content in any way. This includes taking photos, screenshots, and other electronic or written copies of the exam questions.
The participants must take the exam alone. Chatting and electronic devices are not allowed, except for the computer/laptop required for the exam. Email, messaging, etc. are not allowed. Please refrain from speaking during the exam so as not to disturb other participants.
The tests are carried out as an open book. You may use all written (including digital) training materials and notes.
The company that conducts the exam emails the test results directly to the participants. This usually happens after 2-4 working days.
