Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Training is 100% online 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 it fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, MATLAB, Polarion, dSPACE and Keysight PathWave, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for battery electrical safety tests, electromagnetic compatibility tests and multinational type-approval planning. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: UN ECE R100, UN ECE R10, UN 38.3, Regulation (EU) 2018/858, UN GTR 22, UN ECE R155, ISO 6469-1, FMVSS 305.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of UN ECE R100, UN ECE R10 and UN 38.3 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Vector CANoe, MATLAB, Polarion, dSPACE, Keysight PathWave, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A global EV type-approval project with market requirements, electrical safety, EMC and battery transport test plans, cybersecurity strategy and technical file, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
