Functional Safety Engineer (level 01)
(TÜV SÜD Certified SIL training course)

Today’s industry needs cross-disciplinary knowledge to achieve the maximum quality, reliability and
safety. Constantly changing functions in mobile and stationary systems require companies to reach
high levels of expertise, particularly with regard to safety, in order to master this complexity. Safety
regulations insist that persons with responsibilities in these environments must possess adequate
specialist knowledge.

Employers must train and certify their functional safety employees to meet the demands of the
business and standards. The FSCP confirms the individual as an expert in the Process industry and
is a highly sought-after qualification. For a business, having a team of certified professionals
demonstrates its commitment to functional safety and fulfils one of the requirements of IEC 61508-
IEC 61511 qualification

Course introduction:
Based on years of practical experience in the field of Functional Safety and participation in relevant
standardization committees we impart you with the required knowledge relating to the existing IEC
61508/61511 standard for safety-relevant electrical / electronic systems. The first three days are
classroom setting instruction that provide detailed information and example / discussion for
understanding and mastering the requirements of IEC61508 / IEC61511 functional safety. Evening
study time and problem solving is recommended. The fourth day consists of a two-part examination.
The course is designed as per the latest standard for Functional safety IEC 61511:2017 .
