How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: you progress at your 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 EUR-Lex, the BOE consolidated legislation database, QGIS, Microsoft Excel and CENDOJ, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied: analysis of regulatory applicability to a municipality, drafting of an electric mobility bylaw and a compliance audit of a low-emission zone. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrating project.
Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), Law 7/2021, Royal Decree 1052/2022, Royal Decree 184/2022, Regulation (EU) 2019/631, Directive (EU) 2019/1161, Regulation (EU) 168/2013, Royal Decree 970/2020.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
