Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so it fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Power BI, Tableau, MS Project, Jira and Miro, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures from a project office, a business prototyping lab and a portfolio analytics environment. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrated project.

Standards covered: ISO 21500, ISO 56002, ISO 37001, ISO 14001, GRI Standards, CSRD (Directive (EU) 2022/2464), EU Taxonomy, Horizon Europe, Spanish Law 14/2011 on Science.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 21500, ISO 56002 and ISO 37001 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Power BI, Tableau, MS Project, Jira and Miro, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:An integrated licensing, IP and liability case study applying the regulatory framework, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
