Current lead appraisers, SCAMPI B&C team leaders, and instructors in good standing need to take these steps to add CMMI-SVC to their certifications and authorizations:

• Secure sponsorship from a partner licensed to provide CMMI-SVC. To get started, send the following information to cmmi-svc-app@sei.cmu.edu:

• 1. Partner organization name

  2. Partner business point of contact

  3. Resume reflecting service experience (you may include training and appraisal service experience; indicate five total years of experience with services, and two of these years must be managing services)

• Complete the candidate sponsorship form.

• Take the one-day training course.

• Pass a competency exam.

• Pass the resume review.

• Ensure that the sponsoring organization has the appropriate licensing agreement in place.

• Instructors will also participate in a readiness review by phone.

You have the option to schedule an individual phone review, or to attend a group review session during the SEPG conference in March. Once you have completed other steps, send email to blb@sei.cmu.edu to schedule your session.

New candidates need 10 years of experience and must complete additional requirements. For more information on available certifications and requirements, visit the Certification website.
