Certify your Functional Safety competency!

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The main objec ve is to provide all engineers involved in safety instrumented systems with elementary and necessary knowledge about func onal safety, based on the leading interna onal func onal safety standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.A second objec ve is to give anybody a ending the course the opportunity to have his or her func onal safety competency confi rmed by the TÜV Rheinland upon successfully passing the exam.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTENDIEC 61508 ed2.0, released in April 2010, clearly indicates as a ‘Norma ve’ requirement, that anybody involved in safety lifecycle ac vi es shall be competent to carry out the ac vi es for which they are accountable.Take advantage of this course, examina on and cer fi cate to prove your clients, peers and management, your competency in the fi eld of Func onal Safety. Success in the fi nal examina on confi rms your func onal safety knowledge on your personal name, adding a great value to your professional career and image.
