Intensive Trainings
Safety Critical Software in Rail (SCSR)
September 9 - September 10
Why Choose this Training Course
This SCSR training course provides software developers, engineers, testers, managers and others involved in safety-related projects with a detailed understanding of the fundamentals of safety critical software development and testing. This SCSR training course is supported by a competency-based structure. The opening module provides background to software lifecycle and
the standards and their application in the railway drawing upon best practice. The next modules introduce a number of incidents where software failures resulted in incidents. The next modules go into depth regarding the content, aims and requirements for developing software for the railway in accordance with EN50128 for all SIL levels.
The course content is mapped to:
- Industry standard competencies, skills and evidence requirements relevant to rail safety work (see our website for details)
- Industry regulations
- National and international standards
- Information is interspersed with practical exercises. There is a short multiple-choice examination at the end to assess the identified learning outcomes
