Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so the programme can be combined with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MATLAB Predictive Maintenance Toolbox, Python (PyTorch), Vector CANalyzer and LabVIEW, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: extraction of health indicators from CAN bus data, estimation of battery remaining useful life and design of an on-board PHM architecture. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.

Standards covered: IEEE 1856-2017, ISO 13374, ISO 13381-1, SAE JA6268, SAE J1939, MIL-STD-1553B, ISO 55000.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of IEEE 1856-2017, ISO 13374 and ISO 13381-1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:MATLAB Predictive Maintenance Toolbox, Python (PyTorch), Vector CANalyzer and LabVIEW, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a complete PHM system for a land vehicle subsystem, from failure mode analysis and sensing strategy to diagnostic and prognostic models, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
