Delegate comments
In course feedback our delegates rated this course 91.5%. See recent comments below, or more comments here.
Its informative and gives you a good understanding of functional safety.
I would recommend it as its a great introduction to the functional safety world.
I thought the course was pitched at the right level whether it was a refresher or for someone completely new to the concepts.
I found the examples given useful and thought that Dil's approach to both the process industry and the defence industry was well balanced and relevant to me throughout.
A very good introduction.
