Engineers working in the field of functional safety for years have the opportunity to obtain an official verification and testimonial of their expertise. By passing a final exam successfully they will receive a TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineer certificate. This certificate, which is acknowledged worldwide, states that specific knowledge within the field of “Automotive” has been achieved.
