Who we are
TVC Functional Safety Services FZ-LLC is an independent training and consultancy company based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

Founder
TVC was founded by Tino Vande Capelle, a TÜV Rheinland Senior Functional Safety Expert and Trainer for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). With more than 30 years of industrial experience, Tino helped establish the original SIS competency programme and has been training functional safety professionals for more than 20 years. Our trainers bring experience from engineering, commissioning, operations and maintenance into the classroom.
03
Courses
TVC is an approved course provider under the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety and Cyber Security Training Program. We offer Functional Safety Engineer and Functional Safety Technician training for SIS, alongside courses in industrial cybersecurity fundamentals and risk assessment. Participants can choose from scheduled classroom and virtual courses, and organisations can arrange in-house training tailored to their teams and facilities.
04
Consultancy
Our consultancy supports organisations in applying IEC 61511 and IEC 62443 to their own facilities and projects. In functional safety, we assist with functional safety management and assessments, process hazard and risk assessment, safety requirements specifications and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification. In industrial cybersecurity, we help teams assess risks and define security requirements for their control systems.
05
Approach
Our approach is practical and vendor-neutral. We use examples from real projects, case studies and exercises to show how the standards guide decisions: what a safety function must do, how to verify it, and what operations and maintenance teams need to keep it effective. The aim is for participants to return to work able to explain the reasoning behind a requirement and apply it to the systems they are responsible for.
