Why invest in Automotive Cybersecurity training courses provided by CYEQT Knowledge

Well-founded, validated and practical application knowledge – industry-wide recognised

The Automotive Cybersecurity Training courses (live/video) of the CYEQT Knowledge Base are based on the ACP Framework competence system, aligned with ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155 – developed by over 100 industry specialists and already successfully used thousands of times worldwide in vehicle cybersecurity competence development. In-depth, applicable knowledge that goes beyond pure theory.

What's important to you:

You not only learn which regulations, standards and factors influence cybersecurity in the automotive and vehicle development environment worldwide, but also how these are specifically implemented in development processes, organisational structures and your everyday work.

Flexible learning formats – to suit your situation

 

Vehicle cybersecurity affects countless functions, teams and individuals. Our automotive cybersecurity training courses offer a broad-based approach to imparting knowledge of the fundamentals for a range of functions and roles at the introductory level of ACP Level 1 “Foundation”. ACP Level 2 then delves deeper into the application of cybersecurity engineering. Whether you choose live training, a video course or a subscription, the choice is yours.

What's important to you:

A training offer that fits – you can start right away. Individually, for the team or the organisation – the content, tailored by renowned experts and presented in a variety of ways, adapts to your needs.

Automotive Cybersecurity Certification as a recognised proof of competence

After successfully completing the ACP Level 1/2 training (live or video), participants receive a personalised

Certificate of Attendance that also entitles them to take the respective exam to become an Automotive Cybersecurity Professional with TÜV Rheinland Qualified Certification. This certification is one of the most highly regarded qualifications in the field of automotive security worldwide.

What’s important for you:

You not only learn the right things, but you also receive a reliable proof of competence in the form of the corresponding certificates of attendance or certifications in accordance with the requirements of ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155. This gives you a competitive advantage in the market, both in terms of the career prospects of the individual and in terms of the competitive advantages of economic players in the market.

Building sustainable automotive cybersecurity expertise as a competitive advantage

The requirements for automotive cybersecurity will become indispensable as vehicles and in particular passenger cars become increasingly connected. Without in-depth expertise and reliable implementation skills in vehicle security, not only manufacturers, but also suppliers and the numerous service providers involved in the value creation processes, risk falling behind in one of the most important quality dimensions of the future.

What’s important for you:

The systematic development and expansion of automotive cybersecurity expertise, for example with our automotive security training, is a sustainable investment. It not only helps to reduce costs in the long term at many levels (see our training module on the impact of automotive cybersecurity), minimise risks and maintain innovative strength in a rapidly changing industry.
