Training and Certification
The GfSE offers a wide range of free online sessions, trainings and certifications to build and expand knowledge and skills in Systems Engineering. Our close relationships with experts and companies allow you to benefit from best practices and standards and advance your career in Systems Engineering.
The promotion of Systems Engineering as a career is based on student education through universities on the one hand and on-the-job training on the other.
This is supported by three initiatives:
Further Training to become a Certified Systems Engineer (GfSE)®
The SE-ZERT® is a personal certificate based on a curriculum taught by accredited training providers that qualifies employees for their work as Systems Engineers.
GfSE Study Award
All students can take the initiative with their Systems Engineering topics and submit their publications on their Bachelor's and Master's theses for the annual study award.
Education and Study Programs
As an additional service, you will find a list of national and international degree programs that teach Systems Engineering.
