How you'll learn
Training 100 % online 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 it to be combined with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SafetyCulture, Intelex, ISOTools, Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The exercises are based on real audit procedures: internal audit of the welding process, second-party audit of subcontractors, and follow-up of corrective actions after certification. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrating project.
