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 study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The Working Software is Fluke 1664 FC with Reporting Software, Metrel ES Manager, Rohde & Schwarz EMC32, Microsoft Project, SAP QM, In Free, Academic or Evaluation Versions. Testing is studied on real procedures: Electrical safety testing of a machine control panel, execution of a factory acceptance test, and an internal product conformity audit. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
