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 SAP GTS, Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Global Trade, Advanced Excel, Consolidated Screening List (trade.gov), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures for classifying helicopter components, preparing licence applications and simulating internal audits. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Explain the fundamentals of defence export control.
Classify helicopter components according to control lists.
Interpret ITAR and EAR requirements for aerospace components.
Manage licences and authorisation procedures.
Apply the rules on intra-Community transfers.
