Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so the programme fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python with scikit-learn and PyTorch, MATLAB Predictive Maintenance Toolbox, MLflow, Azure Machine Learning and Grafana, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied, such as engine remaining useful life prognosis with the C-MAPSS dataset, normal behaviour models with SCADA data and transformer diagnosis by dissolved gas analysis. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ISO 17359, ISO 13374-1, ISO 13381-1, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), ISO 55001, IEC 60599, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 20816-1.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 17359, ISO 13374-1 and ISO 13381-1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Python with scikit-learn and PyTorch, MATLAB Predictive Maintenance Toolbox, MLflow, Azure Machine Learning and Grafana, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:a predictive maintenance programme for a real asset, from data preparation and health indicators to diagnosis, prognosis, deployment and technical and economic evaluation, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
