It is essential that a disciplined engineer in design, testing, operations, maintenance has a good understanding of RAMS concepts. During design development early identification of RAMS risks in the project life cycle enables easier mitigations at reduced costs. Early identification of risks is made possible by the application of RAMS techniques at the required rigor to the developing design at various stages of the project life cycle.
Engineering professionals who are directly involved in the activities responsible for design, construction, operation, maintenance and RAMS assurance, where there is a requirement to achieve a robust railway system at an optimum cost.
- On successful completion of Module A and Module D of RAMS certification course, the participants will have a good understanding of system engineering principles with good understanding of establishing appropriate system assurance framework.
- On successful completion of Module B, the participants will gain an in-depth understanding of system safety concepts with various methods of identifying and mitigating hazards, safety issues during the project life-cycle stages and how to implement international standards & directives EN50126/8/9 Common Safety Methods.
- On successful completion of Module C, Detailed RAM engineering concepts module, the participants will have an in-depth understanding of RAM concepts including the mathematics required for RAM, and how to implement EN50126 process. The participants will also gain a good understanding of RAM modeling, FRACAS and value engineering.
This course explains the concepts of RAM & Safety in detail and also enables the participants to learn and apply the various methods and tools for determining the RAM and Safety targets, and their demonstration.

The course gave my a view of the "bigger picture" of railway RAMS as in my day to day work I only work with the HVAC subsystem, specially related to Safety and Assurance. Also I've learned about techniques for relaiblity calculations which I have not used until now. Definitely the course increased my knowledge and has helped meto have a critical eye and to have a bigger context in my daily work as a RAMS engineer.

The Certificate Course in Railway RAMS concepts and applications was incredibly informative! I had limited knowledge about these concepts before, but this course provided me with a comprehensive understanding. It was a great learning experience, and I feel more equipped to contribute effectively in the field. Especially, the tutors were very supportive and their guidance on each module was very useful to understand the practical implications

I have thoroughly enjoyed the training course demonstrated by Intellex. It taught me to think outside the box & execute creative solutions on the spot. This course help me to get versatile knowledge about RAMS and it's application and correlate with my current project (Riyadh Metro Project Saudi Arabia) I am looking forward in future for more courses with Intellex institute and recommend to my friends and colleagues.
