Automotive Trainings
ISO 26262 – SOTIF – Automotive SPICE
Automotive functional safety is applicable to all safety relevant vehicle systems and becomes more and more important with the rise of autonomous, electrical and connected mobility. Competence management, as required by all functional safety standards, requires that organisations have to ensure proper qualification of the staff involved in the safety life-cycle. Our courses provide the necessary knowledge to manage all safety-related aspects in the development of modern automotive systems. Our trainers have first-hand knowledge as co-authors of these standards.

IEC 61508 – ISO 13849 – IEC 62061 – Machinery Regulation
The machinery and robotic domain is regulated by various different standards. Understanding their differences and how it is possible to apply them in the product development process of your company is sometimes laborious. Our trainings support you in applying every part of these standards, from the hazard analysis to the validation of the system without forgetting the software and hardware assessment. Moreover, it is enhanced with personal exercises for the different phases in order to improve assimilation of information.

Cybersecurity Trainings
ISO/SAE 21434 (UN R155) – ISO 24089 (UN R156) – IEC 62443 – CRA
Industrial or operational cybersecurity (OT) is primarily about combining the principles of safety from the OT environment with the principles of IT security. This combination makes it difficult for end users to understand and identify security as a critical issue that needs systematic investment. Our trainings improve your cybersecurity awareness and support you on the road to an internationally recognised certification.
We provide trainings focused on “traditional” IT security as well as on OT security to improve your knowledge and competencies. In addition, we also offer an overview course mainly dedicated to managers to understand the overall landscape of cybersecurity and data protection.

Other Trainings
Product Liability and Functional Safety
Automated or autonomous systems are bringing a radical change to everyday life but also imposing new potential threats. Engineers and managers do need to understand and manage the risk of liability claims, which may be caused by errors and omissions in the product design and manufacturing processes, or the way the product is marketed.
This one-day course is primarily designed for managers with no previous legal training and/or specific technical expertise, who may be responsible for the design, manufacture or marketing of products that could cause loss or injury.
This course provides a practical introduction to the principles of civil, criminal and contract law, showing how they converge when defective products are found.
This course is provided typically for company-specific purposes and will provide an overview on the state-of-art standards applicable, such as the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, the Low Voltage Directive, ISO 26262 and IEC 61508, and the related processes that mitigate these liability risks. It also covers the new Product Liability Directive (EU) 2024/2853, which applies to products placed on the market from 9 December 2026 and explicitly covers software, including AI systems. It will identify the obligations and critical points to observe for managers in particular to development and production processes, and staff selection.
The course may also cover certain case studies defined by you.
Internal Auditor for Quality Management Systems
ISO 9001 certification requires regular internal audits. This two-day course gives you the skills to carry out these internal audits against ISO 9001 or similar QM standards, including the new edition ISO 9001:2026 published in September 2026. It will teach you how to plan, prepare, evaluate and implement corrective action and provides you with the knowledge and skills to perform internal audits of quality management systems.
Participants will learn how to audit and report on the effective implementation and maintenance of a management system in accordance with ISO 19011.
Participants should have a prior knowledge about:
- basic know-how of ISO 9001 or similar quality management systems
- PDCA cycle
- core elements of a management system
Requirements Engineering
Requirements engineering is the process of eliciting stakeholder needs and desires and developing them into an agreed-upon set of detailed requirements that can serve as a basis for all subsequent development activities. The purpose of requirements engineering methodologies is to make the problem that is being stated clear and complete, and to ensure that the solution is correct, reasonable, and effective.
With a well-managed requirement engineering process, you will be able to improve customer satisfaction, product quality and safety and together with the right tool enable organizational learning.
This 3 day course is equivalent to the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE) Foundation Level according to IREB® . It ends with a certification exam on the morning of the 4th day.
