Understand how this platform works.
Learn how harm, risk, and tolerable residual risk guide ISO 26262 functional safety for electrical and electronic vehicle systems, balancing unacceptable hazards with safeguards across passive, active, and preventive safety.
Assemble a project team, define functional safety requirements, and plan development under ISO 26262 through a DIA, safety plan, and safety case to prove compliance.
Explore the core hardware and software bits in modern vehicles, linking ISO 26262 parts 5 and 6, with emphasis on traceable safety requirements, hardware-software integration, and next steps.
Learn how to derive hardware and software safety requirements under ISO 26262, design safety mechanisms, and ensure traceability across hardware architectural design, HSI, and software safety requirements.
Master safety analysis methods in ISO 26262, including FMEA, FTA, HAZOP, and FMEDA, across concept, system, and software levels to assess hazards and ensure safety goals.
Why do 20,000+ automotive engineers choose this course?
Because ISO 26262 training shouldn’t cost €3,000–5,000 or take weeks of your life.
I’m Paul Danci, Functional Safety Manager with 15+ years of automotive experience, working across Tier-1, Tier-2, and OEM environments, including real series projects, since the early days of ISO 26262.
This course is designed to give you a clear, practical foundation in automotive functional safety, focused on how ISO 26262 is actually applied in projects, not just how it’s written.
What you’ll be able to do after this course
Perform a Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) and derive ASILs
Understand and calculate hardware safety metrics using FMEDA (SPFM, LFM, PMHF)
Create and understand core ISO 26262 work products used in real projects
Understand the V-model from vehicle level down to hardware and software elements
Speak confidently about ISO 26262 in technical discussions, reviews, and assessments
What’s covered
Functional safety fundamentals and ISO 26262 structure (overview of all parts)
Concept phase: Item Definition, HARA, Safety Goals, Functional Safety Concept
System, hardware, and software development, including ASIL decomposition
Hardware safety: fault taxonomy, FMEDA principles, metric calculations
Verification, validation, and the role of safety culture in development
Who this course is for
Engineers starting their first ISO 26262 functional safety project
System, hardware, or software engineers working in automotive
Project managers and technical leads who need to understand ISO 26262
Professionals transitioning into automotive from other safety-regulated industries
Engineers preparing for deeper functional safety training or certification
Why this instead of expensive classroom training?
Traditional classroom courses cost €3,000-5,000 and take 3-5 full days.
This course delivers the same foundational understanding in 4 focused hours, with lifetime access and updates, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit topics when needed.
If you want a practical, engineer-focused introduction to ISO 26262 that you can apply immediately, this course is for you.
