Postgraduate Diploma in Energy and Charging for 2R Electric Fleets
Online 800-hour Postgraduate Diploma in Energy and Charging for 2R Electric Fleets. 8 modules covering IEC 61851-1:2017, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) and HOMER Grid. Assigned tutor and open enrolment.
Postgraduate Diploma in Energy and Charging for 2R Electric Fleets — studying from Canada
Canada's motorcycle and two-wheeler market is relatively modest compared with the car sector, but it supports a network of dealers, distributors, parts suppliers and recreational riding communities. Manufacturers and importers serve markets across provinces, with seasonal demand shaped by climate. Engineering work in this area includes vehicle homologation, component design and electric two-wheeler development. Regulation of vehicle safety and emissions involves federal and provincial authorities.
Fees for Canada: C$1,700 (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Canada
Is this programme recognised by professional bodies in Canada for motorcycle engineering?
SEIUM's qualifications are private, not official state degrees, and are not accredited by any national body in Canada. Vehicle engineering roles in Canada are generally not licensed by a single title-protected body, but employers and industry associations set their own expectations. Transport Canada regulates vehicle safety standards, which is separate from any qualification. Check recognition with prospective employers directly.
What career paths in Canada could this qualification support in the 2-wheeler sector?
Potential roles include design, testing, product development and technical support with motorcycle and powersports manufacturers, distributors and component suppliers. Whether a private qualification is valued is for each employer to decide, and experience often matters most in this sector. The final project can provide a concrete portfolio piece, though it does not guarantee any position.
How can I manage this programme alongside work in Canada?
The programme is entirely online and in English, so it suits students across Canadian time zones, and no student visa is needed to study from home. Workload ranges from 300 to 1,900 hours depending on the programme chosen. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible. An assigned technical tutor provides guidance throughout.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is HOMER Grid, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Python (pandas, PuLP), Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or trial versions. Practical cases cover real sizing procedures for a delivery scooter fleet depot, overnight charging optimisation with time-of-use tariffs, and analysis of a battery-swapping operation in motorcycle sharing. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.
