Course Description

Risknowlogy offers the accredited Functional Safety and SIL for Safety Instrumented Systems training course for specialists, professionals and engineers. The course focuses on functional safety aspects for the process, oil & gas, and chemical industries according to IEC 61511.

The main objective of this course is to give engineers, professionals and specialists involved in safety instrumented systems the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of functional safety and the requirements of the functional safety standard IEC 61511, in reference to the IEC 61508 standard. A second objective is to allow anybody attending the course to certify their knowledge through an exam.

What you will get

When you attend this course:

• You are trained by a Functional Safety Master;
• You receive the course material;
• The exam is included (for 1 year, free retakes if necessary);
• You receive a Risknowlogy certificate based on your exam results. See Certification above;
• You receive a personal Safety Passport.
  

Optionally
