How you'll learn
A 100% online programme 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 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 Google OR-Tools, PTV Visum, Geotab MyGeotab, QGIS and OpenTripPlanner, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures: route optimisation for a delivery fleet, sizing a shared vehicle service and planning the electrification of a fleet. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.
Standards covered: Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1926, Directive (EU) 2019/1161, ISO 39001:2012, Regulation (EC) 1370/2007, EN 13816, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), ISO 14083:2023, Regulation (EC) 561/2006.
