1 GOALS

The training “Safety Software Engineer ” contains the detailed preparation for successfully completing the tasks of a software developer in accordance with ISO 26262:2018.

For enabling the developer to successfully collaborate with the safety manager, the basics of the safety management are explained, together with the typical supporting processes that a developer is using throughout the project.

The Safety Software Engineer has detailed knowledge of the requirements of the ISO 26262:2018 towards a safe software development, including the correct understanding of the V development model.

The respective competence is established by applying this knowledge to a simple piece of programming in a group work exercise. In this exercise, central work products for the functional safety are created, including requirements, architecture, design, reviews, and safety analysis.

As preparation for a functional safety assessment in the project, a continuous functional safety assessment is performed in accordance with ISO 26262:2018. This will lead to competence for adequately answering assessor questions as well as dealing with assessment findings.

2 THEORY AND PRACTICE IN EQUAL PARTS
The training concept includes the required theory, yet it puts an equal focus on practical exercises that allow the trainees to gain vital understanding on how to achieve work products compliant with ISO 26262:2018. Or rather, to be more accurate, they get one exercise: The trainees prepare in group work the central work products relevant for achieving safety for a specific use case, these documents forming the basis for the practical examination.

Throughout the training we provide the learners with the support that they need in order to successfully establish knowledge and competence in the field of functional safety. Therefore, we have split the training into four individual learning elements:

  1. Theoretical Content
    The theoretical part contains both the expectancies from the ISO 26262:2018 towards the project and organization, as well as a self-check with training questions in the style of the examination.
  2. Theoretical Examination
    The knowledge achieved on functional safety is tested in a multiple-choice examination. Upon successful completion of the theoretical examination, the first certification level, the “Certified Safety Software Engineer” is achieved.
  3. Practical Exercise
    The practical part is synchronously with the theoretical part requesting the trainees to create typical work products for a safety related development according to ISO 26262:2018. This exercise is held as group work in order to achieve a balanced group learning experience through discussions and exchange of experience.
  4. Practical Examination
    The competence achieved is measured by subjecting the documents from the practical exercise to safety assessment by the examiner. In this review the degree of compliance with each review question is measured and graded. Upon successful completion of the theoretical and practical examination, the second certification level, the “Certified Competent Software Engineer” is achieved.

Any of these parts can be ordered individually as online training.

3 ON-DEMAND TRAINING
Learn whenever it’s best for you – we fully exploit the advantages of modern online learning and provide a fully on-demand setting for our trainees:

  1. Theoretical Content
    The online training is spread over four training sprints and one examination sprint, each taking two weeks. Each sprint has the theoretical elements available as online content that can be viewed, suspended, resumed, and repeated at any time. In addition, there are dedicated time slots each sprint for asking the training questions that arise during the theoretical part.
  2. Theoretical Examination
    There are theoretical examinations held online at a regular basis. If you do not yet feel well prepared for taking the exam at a particular time, feel free to opt-in for another upcoming examination.
  3. Practical Exercise
    The team jointly performing the group work exercise has the opportunity to themselves find suitable times for doing their work. Yet, alike the Theoretical Content, there are dedicated time slots with the trainer that are used for asking questions for the practical work as well as for the examination.
  4. Practical Examination
    The practical examination is an integral part of the practical exercise as it is performed as a continuous examination during performing the exercise.
    Separately booked examinations are performed as ex post functional safety assessments based on the delivered documents.

6 PREREQUISITES FOR THIS TRAINING

For participating at this training there are no formal requirements. However, for understanding the subject matter presented, the trainees should have experience in the field of the development of embedded systems.

Prerequisite for the second certification level “competent” is the achievement of the first certification level “certified”. Both can be obtained at the same time.

Prerequisite for the third certification level “expert” is the achievement of the second certification level “competent”. The certification to “competent” must be achieved before generating the assessment evidence for the certification level “expert”.

7 INHOUSE TRAINING

This training can be held as online in-house training whenever a minimum of six persons participate. In-house trainings can also be held as on-site training or blended training (theory online, practical onsite).

8 NOT THE RIGHT TRAINING?

If you require different content of the ISO 26262:2018, please consider our other learning paths for:

  • Safety Manager
