**Professional training to meet complex engineering challenges**
Whether you're a practising engineer or a manager guiding technical teams, we offer an ever-expanding portfolio of CPD courses on subjects ranging from Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to our well-established short courses in System Safety Engineering.
Tailored for engineering professionals in demanding roles, our courses are structured around short intensive periods of face-to-face teaching.\
\
**Focused, relevant, and career-enhancing**\
\
With over 20 years’ experience delivering industrially relevant and recognised training, we support professionals and companies across diverse sectors (including automotive, aviation, healthcare and energy), helping engineers build capability and supporting their CPD and professional registration. Whether you’re seeking to broaden your technical expertise, refresh core competencies, or work towards Chartered Engineer status, our courses offer practical insights grounded in research and industrial experience.\
\
Some of our courses also carry credit that can count towards a postgraduate award, offering additional value for those looking to formalise their professional development.\
\
*Delivered in our modern teaching facilities, set within the University of York’s award-winning green campus and historic city backdrop, our courses are designed to help you stay current, confident, and effective in a rapidly evolving technical landscape.*\

> As a practitioner of system and functional safety in the automotive industry, I highly recommend the MSc Safety Critical Systems Engineering.
>
> The course covers the fundamentals of system safety in great depth and breadth, making them applicable to all safety standards.
>
> Unlike previous degree courses, I refer to my notes from York's CPD courses a great deal, since they are extremely relevant to my day to day safety activities.
