Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, 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 Hyperledger Fabric, Solidity, Hardhat, Energy Web Chain, Python, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practicals are based on real development procedures for a settlement smart contract, simulation of a peer-to-peer local market, and security auditing of code. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operating limits.
Industry-mentored:lecturers with a track record in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:a safety-by-design approach, ciber-OT, DIH and compliance as its pillars.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The programme comprises 300 total hours spread over 3 to 5 months. That is between 10 and 15 hours per week on average, compatible with a full-time job.

You will work with Hyperledger Fabric, Solidity, Hardhat, Energy Web Chain, Python. Free, academic or evaluation versions are used, and the tutor indicates the free alternative where one exists.

An SEIUM Institute own diploma upon passing the continuous assessment and the final integrating project. It is in-house training, not an official qualification from the Ministry.

Yes. Modules passed in a Course or Postgraduate Diploma in the same area are recognised towards the advanced programme. Check the credit recognition policy when you enrol.
