Course in Environmental Regulations Applied to Military Vehicles
Online 300-hour course in environmental regulations applied to military vehicles. 6 modules covering Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 (emissions from non-road mobile machinery engines), Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) and SimaPro. Assigned tutor and open enrolment.
Course in Environmental Regulations Applied to Military Vehicles — studying from Australia
Defence is one of Australia's largest engineering employers, with major programmes in land systems, naval platforms, aircraft and integrated systems managed through the Department of Defence. Land systems engineering supports armoured vehicles, weapons and logistics equipment, often through prime contractors and local industry partners. Industry involvement is strongly encouraged through the Defence industry policy framework. Engineers work on sustainment, capability development, systems integration and safety assurance, typically in Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and regional defence precincts.
Fees for Australia: A$1,180 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Australia
How does defence engineering recognition work in Australia?
Defence engineering in Australia is largely run through the Department of Defence and its industry partners, which set their own security clearance and qualification requirements. Engineers Australia is the professional body for accreditation. SEIUM's private qualifications are not accredited by these bodies, so recognition is for employers or the relevant body to decide.
Which Australian employers hire in defence and land systems?
Australia has defence prime contractors, the Department of Defence, and specialist land systems firms. Many of these roles require Australian security clearances, which depend on citizenship and background checks rather than course completion. Ask employers how they weigh private qualifications against experience and clearance requirements.
Is the course manageable with a job, and does it need a visa?
The programmes are 100% online and taught in English, so you can study from Australia without a student visa. Specialist courses take 300 hours, diplomas 800 and master's 1,900. An assigned technical tutor supports you, fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship may be possible.

How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SimaPro, Sphera GaBi, GT-SUITE, MATLAB, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for life cycle analysis, noise and vibration measurement, and audits of restricted substances. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Identify the environmental aspects of military vehicles.
Apply emissions regulations to engines of special-purpose vehicles.
Manage substances and materials in line with REACH and RoHS.
Assess noise and vibration through standardised testing.
Plan the end-of-life management of the vehicle.
