The SEI Certification Program complies with all Carnegie Mellon University and Software Engineering Institute policies. Listed below are general policies and program-specific policies that govern all SEI-Authorized and -Certified Professional programs.
Before the Software Engineering Institute can grant certification to you under any of its certification programs, you must agree and communicate in writing to the SEI that you agree to the terms and conditions of the Certification Agreement. This document is part of the application document. You can download a copy of the SEI Certification Agreement document [PDF] for reference.
All professionals who are certified by the SEI recognize that such certification is a privilege that must be both earned and maintained. In support of this principle, all SEI-Authorized and -Certified professionals are required to commit to fully support the Code of Professional Conduct (the "COPC"). SEI-Certified or -Authorized professionals who intentionally or knowingly violate any provision of the COPC will be subject to action by a peer review panel, which may result in the revocation of certification.
The SEI Partner Network Ethics Program is dedicated to upholding the SEI's standard of excellence by establishing high standards for the SEI's work with our Partners and our Authorized and Certified Professionals. All Authorized and Certified Professionals receive information about the web-based ethics and compliance training required to maintain their certifications.
Ethics and compliance training is one of several initiatives the SEI uses to promote ethical awareness within our professional community, reinforce the Code of Professional Conduct, and ensure that the high standards associated with SEI services delivered by SEI Partners are maintained.
A conflict of interest is defined in the Code of Professional Conduct for SEI Services as two or more competing priorities that may compromise an Authorized or Certified Professional, Candidate, or SEI Partner’s objectivity. When a situation involving a conflict of interest is inherent or cannot be avoided, use the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form to disclose the conflict to the SEI.
