ISO 26262 Academy · Microlearning · self-paced, in the browser
Learn ISO 26262 in focused ten-minute sessions.
Every subject is broken into micro-modules of three to five minutes: a short video, the diagram it explains, a worked example and a quick check. Ten to fifteen minutes gives you one complete subject, and the next one picks up where you stopped.

What it is
What is microlearning?
Microlearning breaks a complex subject into small, focused units that can be completed in minutes. Instead of a 100-page document read once and forgotten, each unit explains one idea, shows it on a diagram and asks you to use it immediately. For ISO 26262 that means one clause, one method or one decision at a time, in the order a safety project actually needs them.
Short units are easier to fit around work, easier to remember and easier to come back to. The practice questions after every unit tell you what stuck and what needs another look.
Traditional training
- 100+ page PDFs: overwhelming, hard to retain, hard to apply
- Hours of passive theory, low engagement, quick forgetting
- Multi-day classroom sessions that cost $3,000 to $5,000 plus travel
Microlearning on the Academy
- Three to five minute modules: focused, memorable, immediately applicable
- Interactive practice after every unit, with the reasoning behind each answer
- Self-paced from any browser, from a free plan upwards
How a session works
One subject. Three moves.
- Chunked learning. ISO 26262 is organised into subjects of ten to fifteen minutes, each made of three to five micro-modules. One concept at a time, no cognitive overload.
- Active practice. Every subject ends in questions with full explanations, and the analysis topics hand you a simulator: FTA, FMEA, FMEDA, Markov, STPA, DFA, cascading failures, HAZOP and GSN.
- Come back and reinforce. Exam reviews show what you missed and why. Re-take practice exams on any topic, and your progress on guides, exams and simulators is tracked so the next session starts where the last one ended.
Focused topics
Each module covers a single concept, requirement or technique.
Interactive learning
Learn by doing with simulators, quizzes and worked scenarios.
Why it exists
The problem with traditional ISO 26262 training.
500+ pages
The standard spans 12 parts and hundreds of pages. Most professionals never finish reading it.
Months of study
Traditional courses ask for 40 to 80 hours, spread over months while you juggle work.
Forgotten in days
Without practical application, most theoretical knowledge is gone within a week.
Expensive seats
Classroom training costs $3,000 to $5,000 per person, plus travel and time off work.

Microlearning FAQ
Straight answers about the format.
What microlearning is, how long it takes, how it compares, and what is free.
What is ISO 26262 microlearning?
Microlearning breaks the complex ISO 26262 standard into focused subjects of 10-15 minutes each, with each subject containing 3-5 micro-modules of 2-5 minutes. Instead of lengthy PDFs or multi-day courses, you learn one concept at a time with integrated videos, diagrams, simulations, and practice tests.
How long does it take to complete the training?
Each subject takes 10-15 minutes to complete. You can learn at your own pace - whether that means one subject per day or several in a session. The self-paced format lets you fit training around your work schedule without the need for travel or time off.
How is microlearning different from traditional ISO 26262 training?
Traditional training typically involves multi-day classroom sessions costing $3,000-5,000 with passive lectures. Microlearning uses active practice with simulators, quizzes, and spaced repetition, an approach that learning research links to faster learning and better long-term retention than passive lectures - all at a fraction of the cost.
Can I use this to prepare for functional safety certification?
Yes. The platform covers all key parts of ISO 26262 with 4,799 practice questions, 9 interactive simulators, and expert consultation. This comprehensive approach helps you build both theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for professional certification.
Is there a free plan available?
Yes, you can start learning for free with no credit card required. The free plan gives you access to introductory content so you can experience the microlearning methodology. Paid plans unlock the full library of subjects, simulators, exam questions, and expert consultation.
