How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is ALOHA (EPA), PHAST (DNV), PHA-Pro, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for installation risk analysis, industrial safety audits and emergency plan reviews. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
