What is the Fault Tree Analysis course about?
Professionals who mastered the basics of Fault Tree Analysis are now being asked to apply it earlier in design cycles, across hybrid systems, and in front of executive audiences. Without a structured, scalable method, models become siloed, inconsistent, or too technical to influence decisions. The gap isn't knowledge, it's implementation fluency.
