How you'll learn
Training is 100% online 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 the course with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is 2D Analyzer, Wintax, MoTeC i2 Pro, SolidWorks and Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures: Moto3 engine and chassis preparation, trackside setup and analysis of acquired data. Assessment is continuous for each module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: FIM Grand Prix World Championship Regulations (Moto3 technical regulations); FIM JuniorGP World Championship Regulations (sporting and technical rules); FIM Medical Code (medical requirements for riders and events); FIM road racing circuit standards (circuit safety rules); FIM Racing Homologation Programme for helmets (FRHPhe-01); UNE-EN ISO 6789 (torque tools).
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
