PLM Course in Naval Construction — studying from Canada
Canada's marine sector includes shipbuilding and naval programmes on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, with yards in Halifax, Saint John and Vancouver. The National Shipbuilding Strategy supports the design and construction of federal vessels. Offshore energy activity is centred on Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, while recreational boating and sports nautical manufacturing are active in Ontario and British Columbia. Engineers work on hull design, propulsion, marine systems and classification.
Fees for Canada: 695 CA$ (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Canada
How are fees shown for Canadian learners?
All fees on this site are displayed in Canadian dollars (CAD). Instalment plans are available, and employer sponsorship can be discussed.
Are SEIUM programmes official Canadian degrees?
No. SEIUM qualifications are private awards issued by SEIUM Institute and are not official degrees recognised by Canadian federal or provincial authorities.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, 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 Siemens Teamcenter, Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE, AVEVA Marine, Cadmatic, ShipConstructor, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for designing a naval product structure, modelling an engineering change workflow, and defining interfaces between PLM, ERP and MES. 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.
Explain the role of PLM across the full ship lifecycle.
Structure the product model and its bills of materials.
Design collaborative engineering workflows and change management.
Integrate PLM with ERP, MES and the supply chain.
Apply naval product data exchange standards.
