How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python with pandas, UiPath, Microsoft Power Automate, THETIS-MRV, Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures: automating a DCS report from on-board data, projecting the annual CII under different scenarios, and preparing a file for the verifier. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Understand the IMO and EU reporting obligations applicable to ships.
Validate the quality of source consumption and navigation data.
Automate the extraction, transformation and generation of regulatory reports.
Calculate indicators such as AER, CII, EEXI and GHG intensity.
Simulate corrective measures in the event of a poor CII rating.
