Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which allows them to combine the course with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Siemens Jack, RAMSIS, CATIA V5, Ansys SCADE Display, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real ergonomic assessment procedures with digital mannequins, night vision compatibility tests and workload evaluations in a simulator. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrative project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with experience in the training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:a safety-by-design approach, with OT cybersecurity, IHL and compliance as core pillars.
