Methodology, software & labs

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 each 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 QGIS, PVsyst, SteVe (OCPP), AutoCAD Electrical and Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for designing installations in shared garages, charging demand studies and managing charge point networks. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.

Standards covered: ITC-BT-52, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, IEC 61851-1, IEC 62196-2, IEC TS 61851-3-1, ISO 15118, Royal Decree 842/2002, IEC 60364-7-722.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ITC-BT-52, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 and IEC 61851-1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:QGIS, PVsyst, SteVe (OCPP), AutoCAD Electrical and Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a complete charging infrastructure project for a defined area, from demand analysis and installation design to operation plan and return on investment, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
