ISO 26262 Automotive Functional Safety Training and Certification for Engineers (Level 1)
Globally accepted Functional Safety Engineer certificate with lifetime validity for engineer level.
The ISO 26262 Functional Safety Training and Certification Program (FSCP) is a personal certification program. The program trains professionals to have complete understanding and updated technical knowledge of the safety related systems that the standard accounts for. It aims at building a basic understanding about safety-related functions with respect to electrical and electronic systems to minimise risks and failure in the automotive sector. It applies from the concept phase, design phase, product development, commissioning to decommissioning phase.
It covers the complete lifecycle of the automotive product.
Implementing ISO 26262 in the initial phase, helps to ensure that no such risks surface at a later stage of production, when it becomes expensive to fix the problem.
Our ISO 26262 Complete Package training includes course modules 1-4 to introduce you to the processes necessary for your role, OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the safety life cycle. After the course you are familiarized with the individual topics with the help of practical examples. Employees and others can use this program to demonstrate that they have the necessary expertise in the field of functional safety for the automotive industry in accordance with ISO 26262.
All course modules 1-4 adopt a situation-based approach to the role of safety analyses, supporting processes and the resulting deliverables. Explanations of the necessary work products and appropriate treatment of the safety plan are naturally an integral part of all modules.
You’ll be taught by leading industry experts with specialist knowledge of your sector. For over 35 years, our global team of more than 2,500 instructors around the world, has been bringing real-world experience to the classroom. Course content is regularly updated to reflect changes in legislation and ensure relevance.

FAQs
ISO 26262 functional safety is an international standard that regulates functional safety in electrical and electronic systems consisting of hardware and software components of road vehicles. Compliance with ISO 26262 is crucial for the OEMs, automotive suppliers to ensure human safety and automotive development.
ISO 26262 functional safety standard specifies a framework for safety-related systems to be applied to assist the development of electrical and electronic systems that are installed in road vehicles, excluding mopeds. ISO 26262 sets an outline for measuring risk and determine risk classes known as ASILs (Automotive Safety Integrity Levels, or ASILs) and aims to reduce possible hazards in automotive systems. It defines the safety lifecycle from the concept phase until the decommissioning of the automotive product or system. It tracks and measures risks to ensure that an acceptable level of safety is achieved in the automotive product.
ISO 26262 Functional Safety Training and Certification Programme trains individuals to have the technical knowledge and practical experience in understanding safety-related systems in road vehicles. When the individual has complete knowledge of the safety-related systems, they can take more informed steps on the ground and avoid mishaps and risks. This would ensure steps are taken at the initial stages and avoid any undue limitations at later stages that would lead to saving both time and money. It would also ensure employee, company, and customer satisfaction to the highest levels.
