How it works

Assess, follow the roadmap, close the gaps

  1. 01

    Assess

    A structured assessment across 23 categories: your role, automotive domain, experience, and goals. Adaptive follow-up questions appear only when earlier answers make them relevant.

  2. 02

    Get your roadmap

    The gap analysis turns your answers into a personalized learning plan: which concepts to study, which templates and processes to practice, and which exams to take, in an order that builds.

  3. 03

    Track and re-assess

    Progress syncs with what you actually do on the platform. Come back, see what you completed, and re-run the assessment as your role or target changes.

Across automotive domains

The assessment also captures your domain - ADAS, braking, steering, powertrain, EV and battery systems, and more - so the roadmap uses examples from the systems you actually work on.

The output

A roadmap that points at real material

Gap analysis

Your strengths and gaps across the areas of ISO 26262, derived from your answers - so you stop re-studying what you already know.

Concrete recommendations

Every roadmap item links to a specific concept guide, template, process, or exam on the platform. No vague "learn more about safety" advice.

Progress that follows you

The roadmap syncs with your activity: guides you finish and exams you pass are reflected in the plan, and you can re-assess any time.
