Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: the learner progresses 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 PTC Vuforia Studio, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides, Unity, TeamViewer Frontline, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Trials are studied using real procedures for creating guided augmented reality procedures, remote assistance pilots in workshops, and usability evaluation with technicians. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry-mentored:teaching staff with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible delivery:(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.
