Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. 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 AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, ThingsBoard, Eclipse Mosquitto and Apache Kafka, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures: connecting and managing device fleets on cloud platforms, deploying over-the-air firmware updates, and load testing with simulated devices. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ISO/IEC 30141, ETSI EN 303 645, OASIS MQTT 5.0, IETF RFC 7252, OMA LwM2M, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, NIST IR 8259A.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO/IEC 30141, ETSI EN 303 645 and OASIS MQTT 5.0 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, ThingsBoard, Eclipse Mosquitto and Apache Kafka, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A complete connected product, from device prototype to cloud platform, security, fleet management and scalability testing, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
