How You'll Learn
Certification & Exam
Certification follows a clear three-party structure — each party has a distinct role:
Automotive & Functional Safety Standards defines the standard
Automotive & Functional Safety Standards sets the syllabus and quality criteria this course is built against.
Baseline Skills delivers the training
Your instructor teaches the syllabus and prepares you for the exam — training and examination are kept separate for objectivity.
An independent body examines you
The certification exam is administered independently of the training provider, so your result reflects your own knowledge, not the course you happened to take.
Certification exam information (format, fees, retake policy) is provided separately from training details — see the Exams page or ask your trainer for the current details.
