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
Die Funktionale Sicherheit Schulung richtet sich vorrangig an Personen mit übergeordneter Verantwortung bzw. Tätigkeit im Bereich Safety. Dazu gehören Personen im Management im Allgemeinen und Safety Manager oder Projektmanager im Besonderen. Wichtige Adressaten sind Prozess-Ingenieure und Methoden-Ingenieure sowie Systemingenieure, Systemarchitekten und Systemdesigner. Reine Entwickler auf Umsetzungs- und Implementierungsebene sind praktisch nicht betroffen, profitieren aber allgemein durch besseres Verständnis safetyrelevanter Themengebiete, was auch Teil eines Anforderungsprofils ist.
