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 each intake, so you can combine it with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Sphera, SimaPro, openLCA, AVL M.O.V.E PEMS and Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Procedures are studied on real cases of emissions monitoring with PEMS, carbon footprint calculation for construction projects and implementation of environmental management systems. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final project.
Standards covered: ISO 14001, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655, Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (CSRD), ISO 14064-1, Regulation (EU) 2020/852, Regulation (EC) 1221/2009 (EMAS), Law 26/2007, Directive 2010/75/EU.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
