Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which allows it to be combined with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is CollectiveAccess (collections management), Axiell Collections, advanced Excel (movement records), SketchUp (gallery layout), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Trials are studied using real procedures for moving vehicles in galleries, lifting and supporting valuable pieces, and condition reports before and after movement. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrative project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-driven final project:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:teaching staff with experience 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 core pillars.
