How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and 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 Fluke Connect, Megger PowerDB, Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures for maintenance interventions on electric vehicles, work on high-power charging infrastructure and safety procedures in automotive workshops. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.
