How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, 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 study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AutoCAD Civil 3D, QGIS, Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Work is based on real camp-planning procedures and real cases, sizing of energy and water services, and deployment project management exercises. 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.
Understand the role of infrastructure in Allied operations.
Interpret NATO doctrine on engineering and camps.
Size energy, water and sanitation services for a deployment.
Plan supporting transport infrastructure.
Apply project and risk management techniques to a deployment.
