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 the course with work.

The working software is MORA (Environmental Liability Offer Model), QGIS, ArcGIS, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for preparing an environmental risk analysis and calculating mandatory financial security. Assessment is continuous, per 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 master's thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
