How you'll learn
100% online training 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 the intake, so you can combine it with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MoTeC i2 Pro, 2D Data Recording, Python with pandas, Apache Kafka and Grafana, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied through real procedures: building a data platform for racing motorcycle telemetry, automated lap analysis with maths channels, and sensor anomaly detection with machine learning. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.
Standards covered: ASAM MDF 4.x, ASAM XCP, ISO 11898-1, IEEE 802.11, ISO 8000-8, ISO/IEC 27001, FIM Grand Prix Regulations, Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
