The exida Academy Functional Safety Practitioner (FSP) Certificate Program

The Functional Safety Practitioner (FSP) program is a certificate program that addresses a growing need to provide confirmation that an attendee showed competency by retaining the knowledge presented in the training class.

The FSP program will also provide an analysis of where the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses lie. This program will also help a participant judge their competency level if interested in obtaining a certification like the CFSE or CFSP.

The FSP Exam:

The exam will be given at the conclusion of the training course, and is optional. Therefore if you wish not to participate please let your instructor know. The candidate must achieve a minimum of 80% on the exam in order to receive their FSP certificate.

The CFSE / CFSP Exam:

Often, the CFSE and CFSP exams are given on the last day of the FSE 100 course.  Exam dates can be found here. Exam fees are separate. Click here to pay exam fees.

*Students will receive 32 Professional Development Hours (PDH) or 3.2 Continuing Education Units (CEU) upon completion of the course

This course will be presented online-live/instructor-led over 8 sessions, 4 hours each.

June 3-6 & 10-13th, 2025
