How you'll learn
Fully 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 study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Minitab, Vector CANoe, Siemens NX, Siemens Tecnomatix, Python, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real design procedures for an end-of-line radar calibration station, an R&R study of a camera bench, and process FMEA of calibration. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Understand the end-of-line sensor calibration process.
Design mechanical calibration benches and tooling.
Specify targets, lighting and calibration environment.
Automate calibration sequences using diagnostics.
Assess process capability and measurement uncertainty.
Where this takes you

Frequently asked questions
The programme comprises 800 hours in total, spread over 6 to 8 months. That is an average of between 10 and 15 hours per week, compatible with full-time work.
The programme uses Minitab, Vector CANoe, Siemens NX, Siemens Tecnomatix and Python. Free, academic or evaluation versions are used, and the tutor indicates the free alternative where one exists.
A SEIUM own diploma upon passing the continuous assessment and the integrative project. It is in-house training, not an official Ministry qualification.
Yes. Modules passed in a course or Postgraduate Diploma in the same area are credited towards the advanced programme. Check the credit transfer policy when you enrol.
