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 with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The software used is Ansys Maxwell, COMSOL Multiphysics (AC/DC), LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, Altium Designer, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures from inductive transfer efficiency measurement benches, Qi pre-certification laboratories, magnetic field measurement and heating of foreign objects. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse the physical principles of inductive and resonant energy transfer.
Compare the Qi and AirFuel standards and their interoperability requirements.
Size coils, ferrites and shielding to maximise coupling.
Design transmitter electronics with power control and foreign object detection.
Implement the receiver stage with efficient rectification and regulation.
Where this takes you
