Objective
The "standard path" to becoming an intacs® certified Provisional Assessor Automotive SPICE®
first leads through certification as an intacs® certified Process Expert Automotive SPICE®.
The focus is on interpreting the Automotive SPICE® processes required to conduct
assessments and implement process improvements in system and
software development.
In the second step, participants earn the qualification of intacs® certified Provisional Assessor

supporting a certified Competent Assessor as a co-assessor in assessments at their own
company or at suppliers – or for optimizing processes based on
assessment results.
