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 enrolment period, making it easy to combine with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SAP PM, GE Vernova APM (Meridium), advanced Excel, Python (pandas), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real MOC review procedures based on real cases, risk-based inspection plans and degradation mechanism analysis. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrating project.

Accredited laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-driven Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operating limits.
Industry-led mentoring:lecturers with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:safety-by-design approach, OT cyber security, DIH and compliance as its pillars.
