How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so you can combine it with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, Vector DaVinci Configurator, EB tresos, dSPACE SCALEXIO and IBM DOORS, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied through real procedures: integration of controllers in network mock-ups, hardware-in-the-loop validation of zonal architectures and threat analysis of communication gateways. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, UN ECE Regulation No. 155, UN ECE Regulation No. 156, ISO 21448, ISO 14229, ISO 16750, Automotive SPICE 4.0.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.

Frequently asked questions
The programme totals 300 hours over 3 months. You set your own pace within each intake, and your tutor helps you plan the workload around your job.
You work with Vector CANoe, Vector DaVinci Configurator, EB tresos, dSPACE SCALEXIO and IBM DOORS, using free, academic or evaluation versions. Your tutor indicates the free alternative wherever one exists.
A SEIUM Institute certificate, awarded on passing the continuous assessment and the final project. It is SEIUM's own qualification, not an official state degree; its recognition depends on the programme completed and the regulations of each country.
Yes. Modules passed are recognised in a higher programme in the same area (postgraduate diploma or master's). Ask about the recognition policy when you enrol.
No prior qualification is required; you need an internet connection, a computer that can run the programme software and English sufficient to read technical standards.
Start dates are set by SEIUM's faculty for each intake. Our admissions team will confirm the next available date when you apply.
