NICET is pleased to announce the formal launch of the Systems Software Integrator (SSI) exam. This exam features four domains: Program Management, Quality Assurance, System Integration, and Risk Mitigation. This marks the official launch of NICET’s newest credential, the Systems Software Integrator (SSI) Certification Program.
Subject matter experts from multiple industries contributed to defining job tasks, reviewing reference materials, developing and evaluating exam questions, and participating in the passing score study. This work ensures the SSI certification reflects current industry practice and addresses the growing risks associated with systems software integration.
The pilot phase ended December 31, 2025 and marked a key milestone in the development of a credential focused on the safe, secure, and reliable integration of software into physical and cyberphysical systems.
With the pilot testing period now concluded, the exam fee is $490 and candidates will receive their unofficial score reports immediately after completing the exam. All standard NICET testing practices and procedures apply; failed tests may be rescheduled for examination after a 30-day period has elapsed. Retesting will be limited to a maximum of three attempts in any 12-month span. After the 3rd attempt, candidates must wait 6 months before retesting again. More information about the exam can be found on the SSI program page.
