Requirements

Functional safety is a key requirement in modern automotive systems.

With the increasing complexity of vehicles, understanding ISO 26262 is essential for engineers, project managers, and anyone involved in automotive development.

However, many professionals struggle not with the concepts themselves, but with understanding how the standard is applied in real projects.

 

This course is designed to give you a clear, structured, and practical understanding of automotive functional safety.

Instead of only presenting theory, the focus is on:

  • Understanding the logic behind ISO 26262
  • Learning how to read and interpret the standard
  • Applying the concepts in a real engineering context

 

A key focus of this training is the Management of Functional Safety, one of the most critical and often misunderstood parts of ISO 26262.

You will learn how safety is planned, organized, and managed throughout the lifecycle of an automotive project.

This includes:

  • Safety lifecycle management
  • Roles and responsibilities (safety manager, project team, etc.)
  • Planning and coordination of safety activities
  • Confirmation measures and compliance
  • Integration of safety into development processes
  • Globally all the aspects in the ISO26262-2 clauses, interpreted and simply explained.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the structure and key concepts of ISO 26262:2018
  • Interpret the requirements of Management of Functional Safety in a practical way
  • Understand how safety activities are organized in real projects
  • Identify roles and responsibilities within a safety organization
  • Gain confidence working with functional safety standards

If you want to go beyond theory and understand how functional safety is actually managed in automotive projects, this course is the perfect starting point.
