Next date - October 22nd.
The =Method CPD Seminars are FREE to attend events presented by our specialist consultants.
At each 1-day Seminar we pick a series of topics that we think will be of interest and which can provide the basis for maintaining qualifications, such as the TUV Functional Safety and the =Method Hazard Study Leader, through CPD.
If you have an involvement or interest in the fields of Functional Safety, Process Safety and OT Cyber Security, then the CPD Seminar is for you. A healthy amount of time is dedicated to Q&A and the =Method team will do their best to answer your questions.
