A typical e-learning module comprises a 60 - 90 minutes video lecture, supporting course materials, hands-on activities, and a learning success check.
Blended Learning
To enable optimal learning success, our e-learning modules, which allow you to acquire knowledge at your own pace, can be combined with instructor-led sessions.
Coaching on-the-job
As an option, our training program can be combined with a one-year coaching on the job.
Participants will be coached in their company projects at affordable rates. A hotline for urgent, brief questions is available at a flat rate.
Certification
Depending on the extent and scope of your training, we offer various certification options after completing the training program.
Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are integral elements of modern technologies that connect the physical with the digital world. CPS consist of networked, embedded computers that interact with and control physical processes. In order to unlock the full potential of CPS, an interplay of different disciplines is essential.
Cyber-physical systems have the potential to fundamentally change the way we understand and experience mobility. By combining safety engineering, systems engineering, software engineering, control engineering, and communication technology, we can create innovative solutions that make our world safer and more connected.
Holistic Safety Approach
The safety of cyber-physical systems such as modern vehicles and complex vehicle systems can only be ensured by addressing various aspects of safety such as functional safety, SOTIF, product safety, and cybersecurity in a coordinated manner. Such a holistic safety approach forms the core of our consulting, training and coaching services for safe mobility.
