How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Trimble WorksManager, Tracktor, advanced Excel, Power BI, SAP PM, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical cases are based on real procedures for allocating equipment to sites, hours control and internal invoicing, and workshop and maintenance audits. Assessment is continuous, per 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.
Describe the composition and particularities of a construction fleet.
Assign equipment to sites while optimising utilisation.
Organise preventive and corrective maintenance in the workshop and on site.
Calculate internal machinery rates and control their invoicing.
Verify regulatory compliance of equipment and operator training.
