The aim of this course is to train the delegates in the fundamental principles of functional safety and to get their competency in the application of functional safety standards certified by TÜV SÜD.
The course includes two days of taught modules (with discussion and practical exercises), followed by a half day open book exam.
Delegates who pass the exam can apply for registration as a Functional Safety Engineer in the TÜV SÜD Functional Safety Certification Programme; registration also requires 2 years relevant experience and to have formal education qualification, for example at diploma level or above.
