Diploma in Live Production, Replay and Data Overlay — studying from Australia

Australia no longer manufactures passenger vehicles at scale, but automotive engineering remains significant through component suppliers, design and engineering services, fleet operations and a strong motorsport culture. Engineers contribute to vehicle testing, powertrain development, vehicle dynamics and aftermarket product development. Motorsport activity centres on categories such as Supercars, which draws engineering talent from across the country. Employers include major global suppliers, dealership groups, fleet operators and specialist engineering consultancies working with manufacturers.

Fees for Australia: A$2,050 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Relevant bodies in Australia

  • Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI)
  • Australian Automobile Association (AAA)
  • Standards Australia
  • Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts

Typical roles

  • Vehicle Test Engineer
  • Powertrain Engineer
  • Motorsport Engineer

Questions from Australia

Which Australian bodies matter for automotive engineering recognition?

Engineers Australia is the main professional body for engineers and sets the standards for Chartered Professional Engineer status, which generally requires an accredited qualification. Automotive standards in Australia are overseen by bodies such as the Department of Infrastructure and vehicle compliance agencies. SEIUM's private qualifications are not accredited by these bodies, so their value depends on employer assessment.

What automotive careers and employers in Australia could this support?

Australia has automotive suppliers, vehicle engineering firms, motorsport teams and fleet operators, along with a growing mobility sector. Employers typically look at demonstrated technical skills, project work and experience. A SEIUM qualification may support your application, but whether it is recognised is for each employer to decide.

Can I manage this online course alongside a full-time job in Australia?

Yes, the courses are 100% online and taught in English, so you can study around work and from home without a student visa. Specialist courses take 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 hours and master's 1,900 hours. Each student has an assigned technical tutor, and employer-funded training may be possible in some cases.
