Course in Electricity Market Regulation in Europe — studying from Australia
Australia's energy sector is undergoing major transition, with significant growth in renewable generation, grid-scale storage and transmission upgrades. The National Electricity Market and the Wholesale Electricity Market in Western Australia are key frameworks shaping investment and operations. Engineers work on network planning, power system analysis, asset management and integration of distributed energy resources. Employers include network operators, generators, retailers, the Australian Energy Market Operator and engineering consultancies.
Fees for Australia: A$1,270 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Australia
Which Australian bodies and regulators cover energy and networks engineering?
Engineers Australia is the main professional body, and the Australian Energy Regulator and the Australian Energy Market Operator oversee the national electricity market. State network regulators also apply. SEIUM's private qualifications are not accredited by these bodies, so recognition is decided by employers or the regulator.
What energy and network careers in Australia could this training support?
Australia has electricity network operators, renewable energy developers, grid planners and utilities that employ engineers in these fields. Employers usually prioritise accredited qualifications, licensing and project experience. A SEIUM qualification may add to your profile, but its value depends on each employer.
Is the course workable with a job, and does employer funding exist?
Yes, the programmes are online and taught in English, so you can study from Australia without a student visa. Specialist courses are 300 hours, diplomas 800 and master's 1,900, with an assigned technical tutor and final project. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship may be possible, though it is arranged case by case.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, PLEXOS, Python (pandas), Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: analysis of Iberian day-ahead market prices, imbalance settlement for a market participant, and assessment of the impact of a regulatory reform. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus a final integrative project.
