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, making it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is AMOS, Flydocs, TRAX and Microsoft SharePoint, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for aircraft documentary audits, reconstruction of technical histories and review of component certificates. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.
Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 1321/2014, Regulation (EU) 748/2012 (Part-21), ATA iSpec 2200, Regulation (EU) 910/2014 (eIDAS), AMC M.A.305, FAA AC 120-78A, ATA Spec 2000.
