You will need to have completed the Principles of Human Factors Engineering, Human Factors Theory and Practice and Human Factors in the Design and Development of Systems courses prior to completing this course.

Please contact the course Instructor if you believe you have sufficient background knowledge to tackle this course.

• Understand how to practise Human Factors in an ethical manner, including having a full appreciation of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors (CIEHF) code of ethics
• Understand how to approach your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a Human Factors Professional
• Know how to work effectively as part of a project team, including an understanding of typical project organisations for projects which include Human Factors

This course has 3 assignments that should take you 1-3 hours each to complete. The assignments will be marked and reviewed by the instructor, who will give you feedback on your progress. A pass mark is required on each assignment before the course can be completed.

Each module also has an ‘open book’ test which requires an 80% pass mark in order to proceed to the next stage of the course.
