Online postgraduate diploma of 800 hours in platform MLOps: model CI/CD and traceability. 8 modules covering ISO/IEC 42001:2023, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) and ISO/IEC 23894:2023, with MLflow, Kubeflow Pipelines, DVC and KServe, with an assigned technical tutor.
Diploma in Platform MLOps: CI/CD of Models and Traceability — studying from Australia
Data, artificial intelligence and simulation are central to Australian industries including mining, banking, health, agriculture and government. Organisations use machine learning, digital twins and advanced analytics to improve productivity, asset performance and decision making. National science agency CSIRO, along with universities and a growing start-up ecosystem, drives research and applied innovation. Australia has also developed national AI ethics principles, making responsible design an important professional consideration. Engineers in this area typically work for technology firms, consultancies, research organisations and large enterprises.
Fees for Australia: A$2,380 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Australia
Which Australian bodies recognise data and AI engineering skills?
Engineers Australia and the Australian Computer Society (ACS) are the main professional bodies, and the ACS runs a skills assessment for migration purposes. SEIUM's private qualifications are not accredited by either. Whether a private qualification is valued is decided by the employer or the relevant body.
What data and AI careers exist in Australia for this training?
Australia has demand for data scientists, AI engineers and simulation analysts across finance, health, mining, government and technology firms. Employers mainly assess your portfolio, technical skills and results. A SEIUM qualification may support your profile, but each employer decides its relevance.
Can I study this online from Australia while working?
Yes, the programmes are fully online and taught in English, and no student visa is needed to study from home. Specialist courses are 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 and master's 1,900, with an assigned technical tutor and a final project. Fees can be paid in instalments, and employer sponsorship may be possible.

How you'll learn
Training is 100% online 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 standard and applied exercises. The working software is MLflow, Kubeflow Pipelines, DVC, KServe and Argo CD, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: CI/CD pipelines with automated model tests, canary deployments with automatic rollback, and reconstructing the lineage of a prediction. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: ISO/IEC 42001:2023, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), ISO/IEC 23894:2023, ISO/IEC 5338:2023, ISO/IEC 25059:2023, SLSA and NIST AI RMF 1.0.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
