This Functional Safety Engineer Training is designed for engineers and technical professionals seeking practical, standards-based knowledge of Functional Safety and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
The course proceedings and material will be according to IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 . These courses are delivered by globally recognized Functional Safety experts over 20 years of extensive real-world projects and training experience. Our experts are TÜV Rheinland Certified Functional Safety Expert (SIS), Exida CFSE, and UL Solutions certified professionals with decades of experience in functional safety, SIS engineering, instrumentation, and control systems. 

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the functional safety lifecycle, risk analysis techniques, SIL determination, SIS design, verification, and assessment practices used across process and industrial sectors.

The course will provide detailed information and examples of problems for understanding and mastering the requirements of IEC61508 / IEC61511 functional safety. Engineers attending the course will be qualified for TÜV Rheinland certification upon successfully passing the course exam.
