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, which allows them to combine it with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Public Sector Procurement Platform (PLACSP), advanced Excel, Python (pandas), Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Work is studied using real procedures: analysis of specifications for military vehicles, detection of red flags in tenders, design of integrity controls. 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 framework of public procurement in defence.
Analyse specifications and award criteria for military vehicles.
Identify integrity risks in the tendering procedure.
Apply transparency and control mechanisms.
Design a compliance system within the tendering company.
