Optional UL Certified Autonomy Safety Professional exam

Participants who complete all 2.5 days of training are eligible to take a two-hour certification exam on the afternoon of the third day. Those who pass the exam earn individual certification as UL Certified Autonomy Safety Professionals (UL-CASP) in UL 4600. Upon successfully completing the UL-CASP exam, participants will receive a certificate and badge that they can use to demonstrate their competence in the UL 4600 AV safety Standard. The certification is valid for three years, after which individuals may recertify.

Why should I take this training?

Upon successful completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

Understand safety case frameworks
