Postgraduate Diploma in UNECE/AIS/FM VSS for PTW — 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$2,850 (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
Fully 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 possible to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS, Siemens Polarion ALM, MATLAB, Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures: comparison of braking test procedures between markets, battery safety test matrix for two jurisdictions, and controls and indicators audit of a prototype. Assessment is continuous 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.
Describe the global regulatory architecture for two- and three-wheeled vehicles.
Compare the braking requirements of UN, FMVSS and AIS regulations.
Apply lighting, signalling and controls requirements across different markets.
Interpret the electrical safety requirements for L-category electric vehicles.
