Functional Safety (FuSa) of Electronics and Software According to IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 - Face-to-Face Training
Learn about pre-requirements from management at company level and project management to achieve functional safety of electronics and its related software according to the state of the art.
The training course "Functional Safety" teaches basics of functional safe systems in the area of embedded systems. It covers items from terms and definitions to objectives of safety in relationship to the basic norm IEC 61508
Specifics of the related norm for automotive vehicles ISO 26262 are discussed in alternating fashion. The training also allows to apply the learned methods generically and according to other norms or standards.
YOUR ADVANTAGES:
Intensive jump start into the topic of Functional Safety
Refresh and intensify your knowledge
Training certificate for participants as to comply with the related standards
Effective preparation for potential exams
You can use the training documentation as a compendium
The functional safety training mainly addresses those with executive responsibility or tasks in the area of safety. This includes management in general, and particularly safety managers or project managers. The training moreover addresses process engineers and method engineers as well as system engineers, system architects and system designers. Developers working at implementation level might not be the primary target group but will generally benefit from a better understanding of safety-relevant topics which is sometimes part of their requirements profile.
