How you'll learn

Fully 100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment window, which makes it possible to combine with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is FIWARE, CKAN, PILAR, OneTrust, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Assessments are based on real procedures: compliance audit of a city platform, impact assessment of a video surveillance system, and drafting of data contractual clauses. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.

Accredited laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-driven final project:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:a safety-by-design approach, cyber-OT, DIH and compliance as pillars.
