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 the programme fits around your work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. You work with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, @RISK, Microsoft Power BI and Oracle Aconex, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: quantitative risk analysis of real projects, contract negotiation simulations and megaproject case studies. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ISO 21502:2020, ISO 31000:2018, Law 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts, FIDIC Red Book 2017, NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, PAS 2080:2023, ISO 55001:2024, AACE 18R-97.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 21502, ISO 31000, Law 9/2017, FIDIC and NEC4 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, @RISK, Microsoft Power BI and Oracle Aconex, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A complete management plan for an infrastructure project, from business case and schedule to quantitative risk analysis, procurement strategy and stakeholder plan, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
