How you'll learn
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 possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Moodle, Power BI, Advanced Excel, Europass, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practice tasks are carried out on simulations of real accreditation procedures, analysis of recognition files and review of digital credentials. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
