The TÜV (Rheinland) Functional Safety Training Program is the only worldwide extended vocational training program in the area of Functional Safety, where knowledge and competencies are evaluated by a neutral third party, and where certificates are issued.
TÜV (Rheinland) has institutionalized this training program in 2004 together with national and international companies like ACM Facility Safety, and experts of the Functional Safety field. As of today more than 14,000 engineers have participated in the various training topics, and have become a “Functional Safety Engineer TÜV (Rheinland)”.
Take advantage of this course, examination and certificate to prove to your clients, peers and management, your competency in the field of Functional Safety. Success in the final examination confirms your functional safety knowledge, adding a great value to your professional credentials and career.
The TÜV (Rheinland) Functional Safety Program supports engineers or any person working in the functional safety field. It supports the professional development of practitioners in the field of functional safety by incorporating the principles of REVISED IEC 61511:2016-2nd EDITION and other relevant international standards into a technical training course, designed to add depth of knowledge and understanding of the subject. The program, also, offers engineers who possess work experience in the field of functional safety the ability to obtain a certificate, demonstrating their expertise.
