Testimonials
Well structured and challenging.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Considering it is a foundation course, it teaches you some extremely useful and relevant information, whilst pushing and testing your knowledge of each completed module by means of a test at the end of each stage.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class and have gained much knowledge.
The course gives a special insight on Safety Instrumented Systems and their management in the process industry.
This course is useful. It has clarified most of the confusion that I had in this field. It has unique information and methods to deliver the ideas. I will be very happy to take another course from this website.
The course provides a strong foundational knowledge and competency for technical personnel new to functional safety. Thank you Jon and team for such a wonderful course!
