Testimonials
I have previously done Functional Safety Awareness courses, but the knowledge learned in this course far surpassed what I have learned in the past.
Trevor P.
A very interesting course for personnel starting in the field of functional safety. I highly recommend it.

This virtual training course is terrific! I was able to move through the material quickly and spend more time to refresh on less familiar topics. The course was well organized and clearly follows the safety lifecycle structure.
Lauren M.
Good course, giving a clear understanding of SIS life cycle and IEC61511 requirements. Recommended to anyone working with SIS design and Functional Safety Assessment.

Meet Your Coach, Jon Keswick, CFSE
My coaching philosophy centers on open sharing of knowledge, stuctured workflows, and solid foundation of functional safety standards.
What is functional safety?
The international standard IEC 61508 introduced functional safety to industry more than 20 years ago to help design better, more reliable systems with embedded electronics and software.
However, many companies have struggled to implement these standards in real projects because they are technical and must be woven into existing processes and quality systems.
We're keen to help companies implement better, more practical systems, backed by years of experience. That starts with building a solid understanding of what functional safety is all about.
We've developed numerous eLearning modules to help teams develop new skills. By creating lessons across the entire safety lifecycle, we offer course modules for industry professionals working across multiple disciplines.
From hazard and risk assessment to design, engineering, testing, maintenance, and management, we offer modules that teach how safety systems are implemented and sustained over time.
