Gain a comprehensive understanding of planning, leading and documenting process assessments according to Automotive SPICE®.

This five-day training, certified under the International Assessor Certification Scheme (intacs®), lays a foundation to become an intacs®-certified Automotive SPICE® Competent Assessor v3.1.

The training provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Automotive SPICE® v3.1 and the corresponding Automotive SPICE® Guidelines.

In this training, we cover planning, leading and documenting process assessments according to Automotive SPICE®. We also take a closer look at the process capability and maturity level dimension in accordance with the new release of the Automotive SPICE® v3.1 model, including the relationship between processes, traceability, mapping testing processes and integration into the Automotive SPICE® v3.1 model, and the operating environment.

The training also explores topics such as the concepts and requirements of capability levels 4 and 5, assessment planning and management, dealing with extreme situations during an assessment, assessments across several locations (including internationally), the coaching of Provisional Assessors, and team management.

Participants must solve subject-specific problems in advance and present their solutions in the course.

  • Assessment briefing and planning: collecting assessment input, creating an assessment plan and briefing the assessed organization.

This training focuses on exercises, discussions, and exchange of experience among the participants, based on their experience in applying Automotive SPICE®.

Cancellation Policy

Contractual cancellation right

The registration can be cancelled free of charge 30 days before the training date, after which the following rules apply: 

  • 30 days – 14 days before the start of the training: 50% of the participation fee
  • 14 days or less before the start of the training: 100% of the participation fee
  • This shall not apply when a substitute attendee is named. This is possible until the registration at the beginning of the event.

The relevant cut-off date for the calculation of the cancellation period is the first training day of a bindingly booked training.

The cancellation must be declared in writing and sent by email to the training provider.

Naming substitutes

The participant may, after receiving the registration confirmation, name a substitute in writing prior to the beginning of the seminar.

This change of reservation is free of charge; seminars spanning several days may be transferred only in their entirety, i.e. attended by one substitute.

Date cancellations and date changes

The training provider has the right to change the location of events and/or specify a different date as a substitute. The training provider also reserves the right to cancel dates for organizational reasons (e.g. number of participants too low, illness of the speaker at short notice).

The training provider will notify the participant of the cancellation and of the reason with-out undue delay and will attempt to change the participant's reservation, provided that he agrees to a different date or event location. Otherwise, the full amount of any already paid attendance fee will be refunded in the case of a cancellation; no further claims exist, particularly no refund of travel and/or accommodation cost.
