How you'll learn

Training 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetables: learners progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, making it possible to combine the programme with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is LabWare LIMS, Minitab, GUM Workbench, R, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures: method validation of test methods, interlaboratory comparisons and proficiency testing, and internal audits of the management system. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrative project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor test bench, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL and vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry-mentored:lecturers with a track record in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:safety-by-design approach, cyber-OT, DIH and compliance as its pillars.
