ISA/IEC 62443 for system integrators of industrial control systems

Strengthen your knowledge of functional safety through training on the IEC 61511 safety life cycle and process industry scenarios. Course completion may qualify participants for a certification exam.

Operational technology (OT) cybersecurity for asset owners and operators (ISA/IEC 62443-focused)

Strengthen your OT cybersecurity knowledge with an immersive, instructor-led training focused on the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS).

Certification levels and recertification

Professional-level certifications through UL Solutions

Take your engineering and safety expertise to the next level with professional-level certifications. Whether you pursue a professional certification in functional safety, cybersecurity, autonomy or artificial intelligence, each demonstrates competency in applying industry-accepted standards to the design, development and assessment of systems that meet applicable safety and security expectations. Earning a professional certification from UL Solutions indicates a baseline level of competency in key areas for safety-critical, connected and autonomous technologies, which can help strengthen credibility with employers and customers. 

Our professional-level certifications include: 

  • UL Certified Functional Safety Professional (UL-CFSP) 
  • UL Certified Cybersecurity Professional (UL-CCSP) 
  • UL Certified Artificial Intelligence Professional (UL-CAIP) 
  • UL Certified Autonomy Safety Professional (UL-CASP)

eXpert-level certifications from UL Solutions

Elevate your technical leadership with UL Solutions eXpert-level certifications. These globally recognized credentials for seasoned engineers demonstrate advanced competency in functional safety, cybersecurity, autonomy or artificial intelligence. These top-tier designations support your ability to apply complex standards at depth, evaluate high-risk systems and drive critical decisions that shape 

the safety and security of modern technologies. Earning an eXpert-level credential can help distinguish you from an active participant in a standard to leading the way in the industry. As an eXpert, you actively demonstrate your capabilities through continued practice in the lessons taught, further building a safety culture in your organization. Our eXpert-level certifications include:

  • UL Certified Functional Safety eXpert (UL-CFSX)
  • UL Certified Cybersecurity eXpert (UL-CCSX)
  • UL Certified Artificial Intelligence eXpert (UL-CAIX)
  • UL Certified Autonomy Safety eXpert (UL-CASX)

Recertification

Many standards require organizations to demonstrate the ongoing competency of individuals involved in safety processes. Third‑party professional‑ and eXpert‑level personnel certificates provide objective evidence that employees possess the knowledge needed to support the development and maintenance of those processes. 

Maintain your credentials and demonstrate continued expertise through our recertification program for guide‑, professional‑ and eXpert‑level personnel. 

Discover how our recertification program can help you stay current and support compliance efforts.
