Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so you can combine the course with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AiM Race Studio 3, MoTeC i2 Pro, Kinovea and Dartfish, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures: slide training on flat track, traction control configuration on track and slip analysis with data. Assessment is continuous for each module, plus the final project.

Standards covered: UNECE Regulation No. 22.06 (protective helmets); UNE-EN 1621-4 (inflatable protectors for motorcyclists); UNE-EN 17092 (protective garments for motorcyclists); FIM road racing circuit standards (circuit safety rules); UNE-EN 1621-2 (back protectors for motorcyclists); Delegated Regulation (EU) No 3/2014 (functional safety of category L vehicles).

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of UNECE Regulation No. 22.06, UNE-EN 1621-4 and UNE-EN 17092 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:AiM Race Studio 3, MoTeC i2 Pro, Kinovea and Dartfish, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a progressive slide control training plan for a rider, with a proposed electronics configuration and data and video analysis, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.

Frequently asked questions

The programme totals 300 hours over 3 months. You set your own pace within each intake, and your tutor helps you plan the workload around your job.

You work with AiM Race Studio 3, MoTeC i2 Pro, Kinovea and Dartfish, using free, academic or evaluation versions. Your tutor indicates the free alternative wherever one exists.

A SEIUM Institute certificate, awarded on passing the continuous assessment and the final project. It is SEIUM's own qualification, not an official state degree; its recognition depends on the programme completed and the regulations of each country.

Yes. Modules passed are recognised in a higher programme in the same area (postgraduate diploma or master's). Ask about the recognition policy when you enrol.

No prior qualification is required: you need an internet connection, a computer capable of running the programme software and English sufficient to read technical standards.

Start dates are set by SEIUM's faculty for each intake. Our admissions team will confirm the next available date when you apply.
