Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Program
(SMSCP)
siemens.com/sitrain-smscp
German dual education
system meets Siemens’
in-house know-how
Students with an SMSCP certification learn how to work their way into a new system, and
by means of the troubleshooting strategies which they learn, they are able to transfer their
knowledge and expertise easily to another system. The end result is an employee who is
flexible, autonomous, and professional in his or her dealings with such complex systems.
Students are only awarded certifications for Siemens Certified Mechatronic Systems Assis-
tant, Associate, or Professional after successfully passing the related examination. Student
examinations are administered only by SMSCP partner schools. Each certification is based
on a specified, industry-driven job profile which helps an employer determine where this
person can be best placed within their organization.

Our philosophy
Systems approach
Our systems approach is the core of the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certifica-
tion Program (SMSCP), which has been used with a high degree of effectiveness
in training Siemens’ own engineers in Germany. All SMSCP courses are designed
to be integrated within a high school, college, or university curriculum, or to be
implemented as continuing education.
Mechatronics is not only the marriage of electrical, mechanical, and computer
technologies; it is also a philosophy for looking at systems. Under the systems
approach, students learn about the complexities of the system in a holistic
fashion. This allows them to easily transfer their knowledge to other systems,
resulting in flexible and autonomous employees.
A focus on system understanding,

troubleshooting, and problem-solving
