How you'll learn
100% online programme 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 each intake, so you can combine it with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is dmELECT, CYPELEC, Ecodial (Schneider Electric) and Caneco BT, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures: installing a wallbox in a detached house with photovoltaics, charging pre-installation in a shared garage and verification and certification of a home installation. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final capstone project.
Standards covered: Royal Decree 1053/2014, ITC-BT-52, Royal Decree 842/2002, IEC 61851-1, IEC 62955, Spanish Law 49/1960, Royal Decree 244/2019, IEC 62196-2, UNE-EN 61008-1.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
