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 intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Microsoft Excel, Palisade @RISK, Oracle Primavera P6, Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures: financial modelling of a charging concession, Monte Carlo risk simulation and evaluation of a real public tender. Assessment is continuous per module, plus a final integrating project.
