DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Don Stikvoort\, Mirosław Maj\n\nThe next 3-day trai
 ning course to become a Certified SIM3 Auditor will take place in Egmond a
 an Zee\, The Netherlands. \nThe OCF shepherds the further development of 
 the SIM3 maturity model\, that is used by FIRST for their new membership a
 pplications\, by TF-CSIRT for Certifications in Europe\, by ENISA for nati
 onal teams in the EU\, by the NCA (Nippon CSIRT Association) in Japan for 
 500+ teams\, and furthermore by the ITU\, the OAS and many more.\nCertifie
 d Auditors play an important role in making it possible that SIM3 is used 
 in a professional and objective way\, and also contribute to further impro
 ving SIM3 in the near future.\nLanguage: Slides\, training and exam are in
  English.\nPre-requisites: Applicants need to have demonstrable knowledge 
 *and* at least 3 years experience in cyber security incident/threat manage
 ment (CSIRT work\; or similar SOC\, ISAC or PSIRT experience)\; they also 
 need to have inside experience in the CSIRT/SOC/ISAC/PSIRT community (e.g.

 other (trans)national cooperations)\, in order to be eligible to participa
 te. In case of doubt\, please get in touch.\nFee:\nThe fee includes access

 fee until 15 Sep 2026 (€ 1900 after)\, including 3 hotel nights 9-12 Nov
 \, as well as 3 breakfasts & lunches. Dinners at own cost.\n\nThe fee also
  includes the right to take the auditor’s certification exam at the end 
 of the training. Providing the student has enough relevant experience\, an
 d providing the student pays proper attention during the training\, they w
 ill normally speaking be able to pass the exam. Passing the exam is howeve
 r not part of the fee\, this is the student’s own responsibility (any sp
 ecial needs related to the training or exam\, please bring to our attentio
 n timely). We do exercise due care: see the “auditor certification claus
 e” below.\n\nCancellation clause: cancellation for the training is possi
 ble without charge no later than 2 months before training start. If cancel
 lation takes place between 2 months and 1 month before training start\, 50
 % of the full amount will be due. In case of cancellation within 1 month o
 f the training start\, or a no-show\, 100% of the full amount will be due.
  In clear cases of absence due to “Act of God” the payment obligation 
 remains\, but OCF will seek to provide due care\, e.g. offering access to 
 the next training at only marginal cost.\n\n\nAuditor certification clause
 : OCF will provide due care to prepare the trainees for the auditor’s ce
 rtification exam at the end of each training. Following successful certifi
 cation\, the first year of being certified will be at zero cost\, and the 
 certified auditor will get access to special auditor rights and materials\
 , as well as be listed on the OCF website (opt-out possible). However if (
 1) a trainee is absent during parts of the training (unless after explicit
  consent of the OCF head trainer)\, or (2) fails or misses the exam on the
  3rd day\, certification will not take place\, nor any re-fund. In the cas
 e of failed exams only\, OCF will allow a time-slot of 6 months in which\,
  at no additional cost\, the trainee will receive a task to fill any knowl
 edge/experience gaps\, and after successful completion of that task\, will
  either pass or get a verbal repeat exam (this can be done via videoconfer
 encing) – and providing this is completed successfully\, certification w
 ill then take place. (In case of repeated failure\, OCF has no more obliga
 tions towards the trainee and/or the organisation who paid for their parti
 cipation.)\n\n* Inside the EU (with the exception of The Netherlands)\, on
 ly organisations/companies with an ‘EU valid’ VAT number pay 0% VAT. W
 e regard a VAT number only then as ‘EU valid’ when it successfully pas
 ses the EC’s ‘VIES VAT number validation’\, see https://ec.europa.eu
 /taxation_customs/vies/\nIn all cases payment must be received on 1 Nov 20
 26\, or we reserve the right to give the training spot away to another int
 erested party\n\nhttps://indico.tf-csirt.org/event/16/
