Verified alumnus

I'm pleased to share that I've completed the 30-hour Certificate Course on Global Railway Compliance: RAMS, Software & Safety Standards (EN 50126/50716/50129) with @Zenith Railway Academy. The course covered RAMS principles and safety lifecycle management under EN 50126, software safety and lifecycle processes under EN 50716, and safety case development and certification requirements under EN 50129. It also strengthened my practical understanding of risk assessment, SIL determination, hazard log creation, and integrating hardware, software, and system assurance processes in railway and metro signalling environments. Grateful for the well-structured content and the depth it added to my work in rail systems engineering. Looking forward to applying these frameworks to current and future projects.
