Trainings
Hardware / Software Design
acc. to IEC 61508
This vocational qualification
training of the TÜV Functional
Safety Program has been institutionalized by the division "Functional
Safety" of TÜV Rheinland of North America. It supports engineers (and/or
persons in the functional safety business) to deepen their knowledge and their
experience in order to achieve a worldwide acknowledged know how and practical
experience within the area of functional safety according to the IEC 61508 and
IEC 61511 international standards.
Engineers who are working
in the field of functional safety for many years have the possibility to obtain
an official verification of their expertise. By passing a final exam successfully
they will receive a TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineer certificate.
This certificate, which
is acknowledged worldwide, states that specific knowledge within the field of
"Hardware/Software Design" has been achieved.

Target
Group
Developers who are mainly
engaged in the development of programmable electronic safety systems on the
basis of the acknowledged international standard IEC 61508.
This training provides basic
knowledge which enables developers to transfer the requirements of the standard
IEC 61508 most effectively.
