DO-178C training course, Do-178C training detailed agenda is here

DO-178C training course covers Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification as the primary standard for commercial avionics software development.

DO-178C training course provides guidance and recommendations for the production of airborne systems and equipment software. Learn how to comply  with the objectives of DO-178C and use DO-178C as the primary means for meeting airworthiness requirements and obtaining approval of software used in civil aviation products.

This three-day seminar will detail many aspects of DO-178C subject matter and covers many industry best practices and mistakes for real-world software development. Learn how  to avoid costly common DO-178C mistakes and minimize DO-178C risks and failures, at the same improving software quality and safety during avionics systems and software development.
