International Functional Safety Engineer TÜV Rheinland® training for maximum professional competence

The Functional Safety Engineer TÜV Rheinland^® training course offers an internationally recognised qualification that thoroughly prepares specialists for the requirements of machine safety.

In a five-day classroom course, participants undergo a mixture of sound theory, practical examples, and in-depth discussions on ISO 12100, ISO 13849, and IEC 62061. This provides a comprehensive overview of safety requirements, the structure of modern safety functions, and the assessment of technical risks. Upon successful completion, graduates receive an official certificate that clearly documents their qualification as a Functional Safety Engineer (FSE).

The course provides comprehensive knowledge of international standards, the basics of risk assessment, typical safety functions, circuit concepts, and the calculation of performance levels (PL) and safety integrity levels (SIL). The content covers the entire life cycle of a machine—from analysis and verification to the validation of individual safety measures. Topics such as machine limits, the specification of safety functions, and the classification of content in the European Machinery Directive (MRL) or Machinery Ordinance (MVO) are also included in the training.

FAQs on the topic of functional safety engineer TÜV training

What topics does the Functional Safety Engineer TÜV training cover?
The training course covers all essential aspects of functional safety in depth. Participants work on practical technical examples, analyse standard requirements from ISO 13849 and IEC 62061, and learn how to correctly implement safety functions in real machine applications. The focus is clearly on applied methodology so that theory can be directly transferred into professional practice.
Who is the Functional Safety Engineer TÜV training suitable for?
The training is aimed at specialists who already have basic knowledge or practical experience in machine safety. Engineers, designers, system integrators, and safety officers will benefit particularly if they want to prepare intensively for the international final exam. Those who already work in the field of functional safety will gain valuable confidence and routine for certification.
What requirements must participants meet?
To participate, you are expected to already be familiar with the relevant standards ISO 13849 (Parts 1 and 2) and IEC 62061. You must purchase these standards and regulations yourself and bring them with you to the course, as they will be used regularly during the training. In addition, existing professional experience in the field of machine safety is recommended, as the course is at an advanced level.
How does the training begin?
The introduction is clearly structured: At the beginning, participants receive an overview of the exact schedule, the content of the individual training days, and the requirements of the final exam. This ensures a smooth start, and everyone knows exactly what the focus will be throughout the week.
Are participation fees and organisational details communicated in advance?
Yes, all organisational details such as participation fees, scheduling, and required documents are provided transparently and well in advance. This allows companies and participants to plan their training stay reliably and ensure that all technical documents are available.
Where does the training take place?
The training is available internationally in English and is aimed in particular at globally active companies that want to qualify their employees worldwide. Due to its international orientation, the training is suitable for teams working in Europe, Asia, or North and South America.
