Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: 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 OLGA (SLB), Aspen HYSYS, PIPESIM, ECE (Intetech), Python (pandas), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real corrosion monitoring procedures with coupons and probes, smart pigging pipeline inspection, and flow assurance studies. Assessment is continuous across modules, plus a final integrating project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL and vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operating limits.
Industry 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:a safety-by-design approach, with OT cyber-security, DIH and compliance as core pillars.
