Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training 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 each intake, so the programme fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MLflow, DVC, Git, Weights & Biases and Fairlearn, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for machine learning model audits, robustness and bias testing, and preparation of technical files. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, ISO/IEC 22989, ISO/PAS 8800, NIST AI RMF 1.0, ISO/IEC 5259-2, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 23894 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:MLflow, DVC, Git, Weights & Biases and Fairlearn, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:a complete AI Act compliance project for an AI system, from risk classification and traceability to the technical file and post-market monitoring, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
