Methodology, software & labs

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 it fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is AMOS, SAP PM, IBM Maximo and ReliaSoft RCM++, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: auditing a maintenance organisation, drawing up a maintenance programme and analysing a maintenance safety occurrence. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.

Standards covered: EMAR 145, EMAR M, EMAR 66, EMAR 147, Real Decreto 866/2015, MIL-STD-3034A, SAE JA1011, ATA iSpec 2200.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of EMAR M, EMAR 145 and EMAR 66 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:AMOS, SAP PM, IBM Maximo and ReliaSoft RCM++, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:A continuing airworthiness project for a military fleet, covering the maintenance programme, organisation, quality system and approval plan, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
