Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Training is 100% online 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 the programme with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the applicable regulations and applied exercises. The working software is AutoCAD, Pathfinder, PyroSim and Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied on real procedures for simulating the evacuation of an exhibition hall, running an emergency drill with the public and assessing the risks of an event with vehicles. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.

Standards covered: ISO 31000.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 31000 and the applicable self-protection, fire safety and occupational safety regulations applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:AutoCAD, Pathfinder, PyroSim and Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:Complete self-protection plan for a facility or vehicle event, including evacuation, emergency organisation and insurance, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
Capstone project
