Get the knowledge to speak to investi­gators and auditors on an equal footing

You will first learn about the regulatory frame­work and basic concepts such as basic safety, essential performance, and single fault safety. That will help you better understand the normative requirements. In addition, we will develop a model that can easily derive important questions, for example, regarding interaction with risk management in the seminar together.
