Starion provides training courses on platforms and methodologies related to system engineering, including model-based system engineering (MBSE). Our experts can also design and deliver tailored courses to match your organisation’s requirements.
Discover our standard courses below and then contact us to find out more.
Our regular courses cover Capella, CDP4-COMET, concurrent design, MBSE and system engineering.
Our courses are run by experienced practitioners from our in-house team, who have been working in system engineering for nearly 25 years.
Most courses are available as in-person, hybrid or online options.
Most of our courses are available in English, Spanish or Dutch.
Our standard training courses include:

Are you interested in model-based system engineering (MBSE) and curious about how it can transform your systems development process?
Join us for a free 2-hour, interactive live webinar where our experts will introduce you to the Arcadia methodology and the Capella tool, and guide you through a hands-on case study to kickstart your modelling journey.
Starion’s CDP4-COMET software is a powerful collaborative MBSE platform that is ideal for concurrent design. Using CDP4-COMET, available open source, teams can interact and share engineering models, designs, data and documents in near real-time.
Through this training you will learn the basics of CDP4-COMET and its role in concurrent design and systems engineering.
In a simulated design session, we will walk through a mock project to:
The essentials of the CDP4-COMET tool, its features and practical use cases:
Concurrent design is a systematic approach to integrated product design that emphasises the response to customer expectations and the combination of creativity and engineering. It embodies team values of cooperation, trust and sharing in such a manner that decision-making is by consensus, involving all perspectives in parallel, from the beginning of the product life cycle.
The outcome of concurrent design provides management with a very good and complete view of the system/product, facilitating their decision-making processes and reducing the overall risk of the project from the start.
You will be introduced to the foundations of concurrent design and model-based system engineering (MSBE) through examples from practice. We will use practical tools to collaborate more effectively in a model-based approach.
This course provides participants with the knowledge and practical experience needed to effectively work in and lead concurrent design (CD) teams. They will learn how CD teams are composed, how decision-making and accountability are structured, and how to manage collaboration between stakeholders representing diverse disciplines. They will also learn about the key requirements for a CD facility and the rationale behind them.
Across the 2 days, the course will focus on CD teams, processes, decision support and development of a CD model. By combining theory with simulation games, collaborative exercises and structured dialogue techniques, participants can practice in a safe environment before applying these skills in real-world studies.
By the end of the course, participants will:
System engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and set of principles that guide the realisation of successful systems. It is a critical enabler for mission success in domains such as aerospace, defence, transportation and infrastructure, where complexity, safety and traceability are paramount.
The structured process supports the development of complex systems through the entire life cycle: from concept and requirements definition to design, implementation, integration, verification, validation, operation and eventual disposal. It promotes a holistic view that integrates all technical disciplines and stakeholder perspectives to ensure that the system delivers value within the constraints of cost, time and quality.
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) says: “System engineering focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, and then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem, including operations, performance, testing, manufacturing, cost and schedule.”
Through this course, participants will gain an overview of system engineering and learn its key principles. They will also discover how applying these principles enables organisations to improve system quality, reduce risks and reworking, and ensure alignment between stakeholder expectations and system performance.
The course is designed to provide entry-level knowledge of system engineering, including:
This comprehensive hands-on training is designed to introduce participants to the Arcadia method and its associated modelling tool, Capella™. Through a detailed case study conducted with the Capella tool, participants will gain practical insights under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
Arcadia (Architecture Analysis and Design Integrated Approach) builds on Functional Analysis to offer a robust model-based engineering methodology for defining and validating complex system architectures. Initially developed and applied internally by Thales, Arcadia has been made publicly available through Capella, an open source tool within the Eclipse ecosystem.
This training emphasises the practical application of the Arcadia method, highlighting the advantages of using a tailored workbench like Capella. By exploring a real-world case study, participants will learn how a method, a language and a tool come together to form the foundation of successful model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
