Program Overview
This intensive one-day program offers a deep dive into Automotive SPICE (ASPICE), tailored for software and quality professionals working with embedded control systems. Led by a senior industry expert, the course blends conceptual grounding with real-world examples and interactive exercises to help participants understand ASPICE process categories, assessment methodologies, and practical application in ECU and system development. Participants will learn how to align with OEM expectations, avoid common audit pitfalls, and use ASPICE as a framework for continuous process improvement in safety- and performance-critical automotive software projects.
