Good update from previous CFSE course and exam. Better focus on management and process than CFSE which was very focussed on probability and mathematical techniques.

I've enjoyed Simon putting in snippets of knowledge and experience.

Go for it

I would recommend

The star to finish structure and requirements. I have seen snapshots of the process in isolation during my working life but often without considering the wider process/lifecycle. Task focused, not process focused.

Very experienced trainer

I realise how little i actually know

it is a very different style when online but worked well under the circumstances.

The course is the only way to understand what you need to do.

Attend it without doubt.

A step change in understanding of overal FSM and lifecycle requirements

Course is exactly what I required to formally structure my experience from the last number of years.

Practical examples that the trainer explained were really helpful to "driving home" the theory. The trainer answered all questions that myself and others had.

It gives a good overall knowledge of 61511 and the tutor makes it understandable and relevant

Enjoyed Dil's presentation of material and had great interactions and discussions during the course

This is a complicated subject!

I’d recommend anyone to attend – I can now confidently apply the techniques

Good well structured, relevant material. Some calculatoions of PFD would be useful.

Overall this course was excellent

The course is a must for anyone who deals with Functional Safety on any level

Had almost no knowledge of functional safety beforehand - after the course, I feel well-versed in the content of 61511.

Interesting and useful, however if not knowledgeable get familiar with the concepts before attending

I would recommend this course

Previous training in the subject is wrong.

Great foundation level course to help fill the gaps for people involved in functional safety

highly knowledgeable trainer defining key fundamentals of functional safety

Overall the trainer was excellent

I was aware of some of the terminology and processes but I now have a broader knowledge for future projects etc.

Definitely worth attending for a well rounded understanding of 61511

I now understand what people are talking about in my job role!

An excellent experience

Plenty of grit and determination

Very informative and will help with focusing on compliance with IEC 61511

Highly recommend for EC&I leaders of any site

Dil is clearly an expert in this field and was able to answer all questions (real world related and not) with ease and confidence displaying extensive knowledge.

I have learned how the whole lifecycle fits together and detail behind calculations

Really good and informative course

Good course

Read the revision guide and familiarise yourself with the terms and definitions before attending the course.

A really great refresher course, adding further experience and knowledge

Excellent training course, highly recommended, excellent trainer and material

Worthwhile and informative

I knew quite a bit beforehand, but this has helped me to arrange my previous knowledge in the right order and given me much more clarity.

Excellent course delivered by an expert in the field.

Course could be longer (say 5 days)

What I say to anyone thinking of doing the course? Do it!

Just do it!

A must for the basic knowledge on the subject. 2 colleagues booked for next year

...the views I held before the course are similar to those held by the trainer and this is great help as sometimes I find myself asking "Is it me"

Dil is really engaging and the pitch was perfect in terms of theory and practical

The course has delivered a step change in my knowledge and understanding of F.S.

Dil knows his subject matter very well and is a good teacher.

Very good course, will give you what is required to understand and use functional safety within your business.

I will be involved in writing up some missing srs after this course

Really good to learn about the fundamentals of functional safety

My knowledge is much improved since starting the course.

Vey practical and applicable course for Functional Safety Management. The course will allow me to influence the functional safety culture in my organisation.

Be prepared to study

Have experience in SIF's

Good practical examples

Vastly improved knowledge on a number of functional safety elements

I learnt a greater understanding of 61511 and how it relates to my site

Shows what is required to achieve a successful safety lifecycle.

More links to the actual clauses in the standard please

Go for it!

Alternate day classes was a very good thought as we got time to read and revise

Make sure you stay in the hotel such that you have time in the evenings for the revision.

Provides overview and structured approach to functional safety

I would highly recommend attending – but expect to spend a reasonable amount of time studying / revising after lectures

Overall the trainer was excellent

I learnt an overall appreciation of the standard and process to take forwards

Will be recommending to others, definitely

My knowledge improved tenfold

This has gave me a much improved understanding of what is required and will also allow me to share with others.

Couldn't ask for a better trainer. An industry expert.

It is definitely worthwhile

Very well presented and excellent subject knowledge

Very good content, highly recommended

Prior prep!

Must do

My knowledge improved.

Very well presented and engaging with real world stories which made it easier to understand.

You need to be 'exposed' to the concepts for a number of years beforehand.

The trainers knowledge and experience of the subject was excellent

i would recommend. Overall the trainer was excellent.

I feel I am now clued up on 61511 and its proper execution in my workplace

I would recommend the course but would warn that an understanding of some terminology and base concepts is recommended

What I learned is how much I don’t know.

The trainer delivering a course was good, and demonstrated good knowledge of the subject and had a real world examples.

Ensure revision guide is read thoroughly several times prior to attending. Ideally over a few weeks.

Excellent Refresher

Yes it is very good

Very interesting and engaging trainer. Open to questions. A must for anyone involved with functional safety

The content and principles have proved to be of great interest and will provide me with benefit in my role.

Course is insight to best practice. Dil Wetherill is expert in Functional Safety.

Worthwhile and informative, however fast paced and intense at some points

The course has came at the right time for me suiting what I am currently involved with onsite. This has gave me a much improved understanding of what is required and will also allow me to share with others.

I learnt that upstream project activities / process safety deliverables are functional safety critical

Hard to imagine a better trainer for the subject matter.

They should attend the course as they will learn new important information regarding FS.

A big increase in knowledge now compared to before this event?:

Have a basic understanding of Functional Safety. Perhaps even attempt to go through the standards 61508 / 61511.

Definitely recommend

I have gained a whole new level of understanding.

A proper understanding of the "why" behind the FS lifecycle to compliment my past knowledge of "what" it's for.

Dil was an excellent trainer. I would highly recommend it.

I now know what to ask of SIS designers and suppliers of equipment

My knowledge is much improved, in general a better overall understanding which should allow for better interactions with suppliers et al.

Overall the course was excellent

Definitely recommend as I think it challenges you to analyse the gap in your own knowledge and realise the importance of ensuring you are relevant in the subject.

Well worth the time and effort in continuing CPD and getting certified
