Our online course is for people with a basic engineering background. As industrial safety concerns various disciplines, our modules do not require being an expert in each discipline. We provide its basics to take the course. Only one demand is required: you must keep an open mind to all disciplines.

The training offers 9 Modules. One Module corresponds to 3 weeks of full-time training.

Each module is divided into 6 Units. Therefore, one Unit corresponds to two and a half days of full-time training, that is, 12 to 15 hours. You can participate in a full-time Unit or stretch your participation over one, two or three weeks. Each Unit is autonomous. Nevertheless, it is essential to take part in the previous Units (sequencing).
Each Unit is divided into 5 to 7 Parts. Each Part addresses a given subject. Each Part requires approximately 2 hours of work. We strongly suggest you perform a Part entirely.
Finally, a Part brings together Activities. Our LMS (Learning Management System) requires that an Activity be completed before performing the next one.

We appreciate the seriousness of your participation in the course. A graduated gauge in red, orange and green tells you our opinion about it permanently. If it is red, you must make significant additional efforts; Orange means that extra concentration is required. Our goal is not to judge you but to help you. If you finish the Unit in green, you can get your certificate.

The gauge is green at the end of the Unit? Congratulations! You can get the certificate of completion associated with this Unit after payment of 15 Euro. INSA uses this amount to finance new developments. Each certificate is numbered. The following web page verifies the authenticity of certificates.
You can refer to it when applying for a job.

To hold the diploma in "Safety Engineering", you must:

• Have completed and validated (certificates) 9 Units
• Have had your identity verified
• Registered for the online final exam
• Passed the exam

o   What is INSA?

INSA Group (National Institutes of Applied Sciences) is the leading French group of engineering institutes. Some 10% of the French engineers graduate from INSA.

o   Who developed the training content?

As for face-to-face training, INSA calls on specialists in the addressed topics. These experts work in companies, universities or other organizations (public institutes ...). INSA contributes with its expertise in the engineering domain and in educational engineering.

o   What length of study is needed?

Guaranteeing industrial safety implies mastering a great many subjects. Thanks to our online training, you can approach these multiple facets gradually or devote yourself to some of them only. To facilitate your access to this variety of skills, the training is structured into Modules, Units, Parts and Activities.
The full training offers 9 Modules. One Module corresponds to 3 weeks of full-time training. Each module offers 6 Units. Therefore, one Unit corresponds to 12 to 15 hours. Each Unit is divided into 5 to 7 Parts. Each Part requires approximately 2 hours of work. We suggest you perform a part entirely.

o   Is it possible to obtain a certificate?

A certificate of completion is associated with each Unit. When taking a Unit, a gauge indicates to you our appreciation of your involvement in the training. If the gauge is green at the end of the Unit, you can ask for a certificate by paying 15 Euro to INSA. Each certificate is numbered. The following web page verifies the authenticity of certificates. You can refer to it when applying for a job. 

Please note that it is not possible to retake the quizzes. You must therefore follow the Units seriously. You are informed in real time of our assessment of this seriousness thanks to the gauge. Finally, to obtain the diploma, you need to pass 9 of the many Units available. If you fail one of them, you can take another.

o   Is it possible to graduate online?

Yes, it is possible to hold the diploma in “Safety Engineering” from INSA Toulouse online. This diploma is based on 9 training units.

Find outmore about the procedure, exam conditions and costs on.

The differences between this diploma in “Safety Engineering” (online) and the Advanced Master's in “Safety Engineering and Management” (face-to-face). Find outmore in the following page.

o   What is a Logbook?

Some Units invite you to build a Logbook. First, this document is a tool used in these activities to help you gain knowledge. The structure of the logbook (parts, sections and subsections) is provided. You can complete its paragraphs. The PDF file must be loaded once. You must then save it on your computer where you can complete it and save it again. We do not keep a copy. At the end of the unit, you will have your personal document. It will be useful later to find pieces of information again and to value your achievements, for example when applying for a job.

o   How to communicate with us?

Do you have any questions? To answer it, you suggest consulting this FAQ first. We regularly add answers to questions frequently asked. If you do not find an answer, then look at the Forums. Two types of Forum exist: the General Forum to address general topics and the Unit Forum dealing with questions coming under the Unit theme. If your question is not addressed, add a new question in the discussion thread named “Open questions”. We are sure that many participants will be able to answer you. Otherwise, we will do it.

o   Can I participate in the development of the training?

We welcome all proposals for contributions. Two types of contribution are possible. First of all, as a participant in the training, you can indicate in the forum of each Unit, the websites referencing documents, videos, etc. which can usefully complement the activities offered by this Unit. In addition, you can contact us to propose Units or Unit Parts, or even a complete Module. See "Join us" at the bottom of this page.
