How you'll learn
100% online training 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 you can combine the programme with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulations and applied exercises. The working software is SimaPro, Sphera GaBi, Microsoft Sustainability Manager, Workiva and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied on real procedures: the emissions inventory of an aeronautical manufacturer, the double materiality analysis of a space company and the ESG due diligence of a supplier. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrative project.
Standards covered: Directive (EU) 2022/2464 CSRD, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 ESRS, Regulation (EU) 2020/852, Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 ReFuelEU Aviation, Directive (EU) 2024/1760 CSDDD, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 37001:2016.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
