How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, @RISK, AVEVA Marine, Oracle Aconex, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real earned value control procedures for a newbuild project, change order management with the shipowner, and harbour and sea trial planning. Assessment is continuous across each module, plus a 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 contractual structure of naval EPC projects.
Define scope using work breakdown structures.
Plan long-lead procurement and equipment.
Control schedule and cost using earned value techniques.
Manage project risks, changes and claims.
