How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine it with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Minitab, CLO3D, Excel, Lectra Modaris, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures: Darmstadt abrasion tests on fabrics, transmitted force tests on protectors, and preparation of certification dossiers. Assessment is continuous across each module plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse the mechanics of falls and abrasion and impact injuries.
Interpret the structure and classes of the EN 17092 standard.
Carry out and interpret Darmstadt-type abrasion tests.
Evaluate impact protectors to EN 1621-1 and EN 1621-2.
Select materials and constructions by risk zone.
