Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online learning 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 the programme fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is EVerest, Hubject intercharge, QGIS and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied on real procedures: an AFIR compliance check for a charging station, a subsidy application for charging infrastructure and a charging deployment plan across several regions. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 AFIR, 23 CFR Part 680, ISO 15118-20:2022, IEC 61851-1:2017, OCPI 2.2.1, GB/T 27930-2023, Directive (EU) 2024/1275, Royal Decree 266/2021 MOVES III.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of AFIR, 23 CFR Part 680, ISO 15118-20 and OCPI 2.2.1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:EVerest, Hubject intercharge, QGIS and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A multi-region charging business case covering regional routes, interoperability, incentives, technical design, economics and deployment plan, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
