ADAS motorcycle assistance systems course — studying from Australia
Motorcycles and two-wheeled vehicles are a significant part of Australian transport and recreation, with strong demand for motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes in urban and regional areas. Engineers working in this field contribute to chassis and powertrain design, rider safety systems and emissions compliance. National vehicle standards and rider safety initiatives shape product development and testing. Employers include motorcycle importers and distributors, component suppliers, accessory makers and e-mobility start-ups.
Fees for Australia: A$868 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Australia
Will a SEIUM qualification be recognised for motorcycle engineering roles in Australia?
SEIUM qualifications are private and not accredited by any Australian national body. Recognition for engineering or vehicle compliance roles is decided by individual employers and relevant bodies. Vehicle safety and compliance in Australia are governed by national design rules, which apply regardless of your qualification, so check requirements with the employer.
Which Australian employers work in motorcycle and two-wheeler engineering?
Motorcycle and scooter importers, distributors, component suppliers, dealer service networks and performance workshops are examples of Australian employers in this field. Whether they value a private qualification depends on their policies. Practical experience and a strong final project portfolio are typically persuasive in this industry.
Is the course suitable for someone working full time in Australia?
The programmes are delivered 100% online in English with an assigned technical tutor, so you can study from home at times that suit you. Fees are payable in instalments, and employers may sponsor you. Check the hours required for your chosen programme and make sure your schedule allows steady progress.

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 standards and applied exercises. The working software is MATLAB/Simulink, IPG MotorcycleMaker, Vector CANoe, dSPACE and BikeSim, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied: software-in-the-loop scenario simulation, functional safety risk analysis, and sensor calibration and testing. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: ISO 26262, ISO 21448, UNECE Regulation No. 78, ISO/SAE 21434, Delegated Regulation (EU) No 3/2014, UNECE Regulation No. 10, ETSI EN 302 637-2.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
