ASQF® Certified Professional for Internet of Things - Foundation Level
The Internet of Things is one of the fastest growing economic sectors worldwide. Get ready for digitalization with the ASQF Certified Professional for IoT.
The Certified Professional for Internet of Things is a course with a final certificate. The course was developed by a working group of the Arbeitskreis für Software Qualität und Fortbildung (ASQF). It focuses on quality engineering as a key success factor for IoT developments. The course provides solid IoT competence for the entire team. It is designed for people who need a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of quality in IoT projects and IoT products.
The Internet of Things opens up completely new business opportunities, but at the same time poses major challenges for the industry:
How do you use the diverse interfaces in the IoT – including with existing IT systems – and how do you integrate them to create improved or even new solutions?
Why ASQF® CPIoT-FL?
Because I recognize and use the opportunities of the IoT
One of the biggest drivers of digitalization is the immense number of connected devices. In 2018, there were already over 21 billion connected sensors or devices. In contrast, there were “only” 8 billion active SIM cards worldwide. By 2022, it is estimated that 50 billion “things” will be connected to the internet for the first time. These devices record a large amount of data. New business areas will emerge from this data in conjunction with software. The so-called IoT brings a multitude of new opportunities. These pose new challenges for the quality management of IT structures. For example, how can the handling of data volumes, security and ethical issues be mastered?
I am sensitized to the topic of IoT. I am a Certified Professional for IoT.
Because I know and understand the standards and terms of the IoT
87% of people worldwide know nothing about the term IoT. Yet the new infrastructure and its diverse possibilities are already being used by many large manufacturers. For further development, it is particularly important for quality engineering to develop and adhere to common standards worldwide. After all, the IoT is not a short-term technology that will be replaced in 10 years at the latest, but an infrastructure that makes the future possible in the first place. It is also important for the growing community to speak the same language – in other words, to use standardized terms.
I specialize in the topic of IoT. I am a Certified Professional for IoT.
Because I use my IoT expertise in a targeted manner
Recent studies show that around 75% of IoT projects in companies fail. One of the top 5 reasons why these projects are not implemented is a lack of specialist knowledge. Very few companies have qualified employees who can accompany the team on their journey into and through the IoT and keep an eye on opportunities and risks. Qualified and certified specialists in the field of IoT are a decisive factor for the future viability of a company.
I am qualified for the topic of IoT. I am a Certified Professional for IoT.
Because I am making my company fit for the future
80% of the data obtained from IoT cannot yet be used by companies.
In order to remain fit for the future, companies need to be able to evaluate and interpret data. With the right knowledge, project teams and the organization can be taken to the next – or even a new – level.
I am a future designer for IoT. I am a Certified Professional for IoT.
Because I already have an understanding of the future
Communication between people, people and machines as well as between machines themselves will change. Both production and healthcare will undergo massive further development as a result of the new systems and technologies of the IoT. Due to the influence of IoT, humanity will experience drastic changes in the most diverse areas of everyday life and we should be prepared for this development.
As a visionary, I am ready for the next step towards the future. I am a Certified Professional for IoT.

Success factors for further training
People as a success factor
In addition to technical requirements, quality engineering in the Internet of Things (IoT) increasingly takes social issues such as security, data protection and ethics into account, which increases project complexity. The Certified Professional for IoT supports the industry with methods and guidelines for ensuring the quality of IoT solutions.
The course provides the necessary basic skills and best practices for all those involved – this is a key success factor for a rapidly developing discipline. Project management skills therefore play a key role in the success of a project throughout the entire team. The course addresses this topic, sensitizes course participants and teaches the necessary skills.
Competence as a success factor
Quality engineering is establishing itself across all industrial disciplines. For IoT, quality engineering is the success factor for the development and maintenance of sustainable and future-proof products.
This quality engineering is characterized by the conception of viable architectures, measures for constructive quality assurance, the consideration of specifics of testing in the IoT context and, in particular, the consideration of aspects of security, data protection and ethical issues.
Quality and time to market play a decisive role.
Course participants gain a basic understanding of the organizational and technical aspects. The course content is based on the relevant quality features of the IoT.
Certification as a success factor
The same understanding for the same things avoids misunderstandings and prevents mistakes and losses. The course focuses on
best practice and current international standardization and communicates this content using standardized terms.
The Certified Professional for IoT can be completed with a certification examination by an independent certification body. The certificate, which is recognized and established in the industry, therefore represents additional added value for participants and their organizations.
