This 4-day TÜV Functional Safety Engineer preparation course delivers a comprehensive, hands-on refresher on the ISA/IEC 61511 standard, equipping participants with the breadth of knowledge required for exam success.

The course goes beyond narrow expertise to provide a holistic understanding of the safety lifecycle—from hazard identification and safety requirements specification to design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Participants will review essential terminology, functional safety planning, and updated risk assessment approaches such as LOPA and event tree methods.

Core topics include pragmatic development of the SRS, device approval pathways, design constraints for achieving SIL targets, and mandatory assurance activities across the lifecycle. The course also emphasizes real-world practices for sustaining SIS performance in operations, including managing bypasses, compensating measures, and change management. Supplemented by engaging exercises, attendees will practice critical skills such as allocating safety functions, applying SIL verification techniques, calculating PFDavg with Boolean and Markov methods, and managing lifecycle integrity.

By combining rigorous technical content with interactive application, this course provides an engaging and practical path to mastering functional safety and preparing with confidence for the TÜV certification exam.
