Over the past few years, MANNARINO Systems & Software has developed a seminar entitled “Software Aspects of Certification and RTCA/DO-178B/C”, which has been offered on a number of occasions both in a public forum as well as dedicated in-company training designed to meet specific client needs.
Created for both system and software engineers, this seminar focuses on the certification and system aspects of developing airborne software as well as the detailed guidelines applicable to software engineers. Practical workshops ranging from requirements management to robustness testing have been incorporated to enforce the participant’s understanding of important DO-178B/C objectives and activities.
The course curriculum is quite intense and addresses the “core” RTCA/DO-178B/C documentation. To best absorb all the information, it is best to provide the course over a period of 3 days. An optional 4th day is offered to deal with and delve into the special supplements relating to RTCA/DO-178C, which comprise:
We are planning on holding our next course in the May 2018 timeframe and are looking to garner the interest of Canadian industry as it relates to participation. Depending on the interest received, as well as preferred geographical location of respondents on where to hold the course, we will then determine the best location in Canada to hold the seminar.
Should you and/or your colleagues be interested in either attending this course in a general forum, or should you wish to have a specific course tailored to the needs of your company, please contact me directly. A copy of the syllabus that covers a 3 & 4 day training session is available upon request.
We would ask that you please let us know by no later than 28 February 2018 if training in the May timeframe would be of interest to you and/or your company. This would allow us to then determine the geographical location of the session and to make all necessary arrangements relating to the training.
