Training in Software Safety, Digital Assurance and Rail Cyber Security

We provide a range of specialist training services covering software safety assurance, digital and data‑driven system assurance, and rail cyber security. Our training is grounded in real project experience and international best practice, and is designed to support teams who procure, manage or assure complex, software‑driven rail assets.

We offer:

  • Face‑to‑face training workshops. Delivered by subject‑matter experts and tailored to the needs of project, engineering, assurance and safety teams. These sessions cover the practical skills needed to oversee assurance of safety‑critical, software‑enabled assets—from rolling stock to signalling and control systems.
  • Rail cyber‑security assurance training. Including the principles of cyber‑risk management for operational technology (OT), good practice for suppliers and asset managers, and how cyber assurance integrates with safety and compliance frameworks.
  • Off‑the‑shelf e‑learning modules. We maintain a suite of e‑learning packages that can be made available directly or adapted to your organisation’s requirements. These modules provide flexible, scalable training for dispersed teams.
  • Bespoke training and blended packages. All material can be customised to meet organisational needs. Please contact us to discuss bespoke arrangements, delivery formats and cost.

 

See here for an introductory video on the fundamentals of software safety assurance. It explains the core principles behind safely procuring and managing software‑driven rail assets, including:

  • how and why software fails, and how assurance prevents it
  • key requirements in international rail standards such as EN 50128
  • how to manage software assurance across project delivery, authorisation, operation and maintenance
  • how to embed targeted software‑assurance activities within your wider safety management and accreditation strategy

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has provided me with the knowledge and necessary skills to assist me within my current job role (Technical Manager).

This course has enabled me to apply the applicable standards whilst providing me with a greater depth of understanding. The subject area is so important in the day-to-day workings of the modern-day railway and I would highly recommend this course to anyone working with or approving new software.

As expected, Libusa provided a highly engaging, informative, and customised tutorial for my colleagues, which included the provision of valuable summary materials.  My colleagues were suitably impressed, and it provided exactly the level of content we needed. Thanks for helping arrange it.
