How you'll learn
Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so you can combine the course with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AiM Race Studio 3, Windy, AEMET (app) and Calimoto, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures: braking on wet surfaces on a closed track, routes with adverse weather forecasts and circuit sessions in mixed conditions. Assessment is continuous for each module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: UNECE Regulation No. 75 (motorcycle tyres); UNECE Regulation No. 78 (braking of category L vehicles); Royal Decree 1428/2003 (Spanish General Traffic Regulations); UNECE Regulation No. 22.06 (protective helmets); UNE-EN 17092 (protective garments for motorcyclists); UNE-EN 13594 (protective gloves for motorcyclists).
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
