I know more now and have put into context things I knew before.
I've enjoyed Simon putting in snippets of knowledge and experience.
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.
Dil is really engaging and the pitch was perfect in terms of theory and practical
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.
The content and principles have proved to be of great interest and will provide me with benefit in my role.
Overall the learning experience was excellent
A proper understanding of the "why" behind the FS lifecycle to compliment my past knowledge of "what" it's for.
Very well presented and engaging with real world stories which made it easier to understand.
What I say to anyone thinking of doing the course? Do it!
Course could be longer (say 5 days)
Have a basic understanding of Functional Safety. Perhaps even attempt to go through the standards 61508 / 61511.
Revise - prepare prior to attending
It has consolidated a lot of my understanding of this subject, and answered a lot of the WHY's as to the reason some things are carried out.
My knowledge is very good now
