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: learners progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is LabWare LIMS, LabVantage, SAP Quality Management, Minitab, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied using real procedures for designing certification programmes for charging equipment, internal audits of testing laboratories, and preparing technical files for CE marking. Assessment is continuous by 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.
Apply the concepts of conformity assessment from ISO/IEC 17000.
Identify the directives and regulations applicable to electromobility products.
Implement the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 in a laboratory.
Plan product certification according to ISO/IEC 17065 and the CB Scheme.
Select sector-specific compliance programmes for each market.
