In order to meet the requirements for the establishment and evidence of competence management (as required by ISO/SAE 21434 and UN Regulation No. 155), mandatory safety precautions are necessary during the training. For example, during the delivery of the ACP Level 1 and Level 2 online training, as a pre-qualification for following certification measures, the activated and functioning camera is mandatory during the training.
Is the certificate of attendance included in the price?
Yes. At the end of the two sessions of ACP Level 1 (or the six sessions of ACP Level 2), you will automatically receive the Certificate of Attendance personalized with the information entered when booking the sessions on the CYRES Academy Platform.
