How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is QGIS, Microsoft Excel, Python with pandas, Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures for demand estimation on urban routes, cost models for eVTOL operators and vertiport location analysis. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Understand the ecosystem and stakeholders of urban air mobility.
Analyse the regulatory and certification framework for eVTOLs.
Estimate demand for UAM services on urban routes.
Model operator costs and business models.
Assess infrastructure needs and vertiports.
Where this takes you
Requirements
- No prior degree is required.
