Develop Your Functional Safety Skills Virtually with E-Learning

As part of UL’s commitment to corporate sustainability, many of our training programs as they relate to safety-related electronic systems have recently been adapted to e-learning formats. We continue to strive for excellence and are proud to offer the same quality content without altering the duration of our events. Now in a virtual format, training participants can attend our functional safety courses from anywhere in the word. Knowledge is now at your fingertips, and the limitation of travel is no more.

So, what makes UL’s functional safety professional training programs unique? Here’s our top three list:

1. Thought leadership – Our instructors have over 150 years of combined engineering expertise, spread across the United States, Germany, and China. They are our managing directors, engineering leaders and safety and security principal advisors. We live and breathe safety, as it is at the center of everything we do.
2. Valuable content – At UL, we strive to keep our distance and face-to-face learning formats the same, meaning our virtual instructors cover the same amount of course material in the same amount of time. We continue to maintain our programs’ content and encourage open discussion,  as we believe in the value of live dialogue and quality Q&A. Additionally, anyone who attends one of our virtual certification programs is eligible to receive a follow up one-hour session with one of our subject matter experts at no additional cost.
3. The option to certify online – UL’s functional safety certification trainings are accompanied by the option to self-certify. This is a personal certification that can be scheduled either on the last day of training or within a six-month time frame from date of course completion. The stress sometimes associated with taking an exam is now completely in the attendees’ control. Participants now get to choose when and where they will test the best.
