Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making 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 RETScreen, PVsyst, SAM (System Advisor Model), HOMER Pro, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The work is based on real procedures from energy audits of facilities, renewable feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus a final integrative project.

Accredited laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented final project:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers 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, IHL and compliance as core pillars.
