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 you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MoTeC i2, 2D Datarecording, Magneti Marelli WinTAX, Grafana and Python with pandas, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for energy analysis of circuit sessions, configuring data loggers and setting up telemetry links. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.

Standards covered: FIM technical regulations, ISO 11898, UN/ECE Regulation No. 136, ETSI EN 300 328, ISO 6469-3, Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of the FIM technical regulations, ISO 11898 and UN/ECE Regulation No. 136 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:MoTeC i2, 2D Datarecording, Magneti Marelli WinTAX, Grafana and Python with pandas, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a complete telemetry system for an electric racing team, from sensor and channel selection to real-time link, dashboard and safety procedures, 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 MoTeC i2, 2D Datarecording, Magneti Marelli WinTAX, Grafana and Python with pandas, 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.
