Postgraduate Diploma in V2G/V2X for 2R and Operations Backend — studying from Ireland
Ireland's two-wheeler sector is mainly represented by retail, servicing, touring and motorsport activity rather than large-scale manufacturing. Motorcycle dealerships, specialist workshops and events such as the North West 200 and the Irish road racing scene sustain a strong engineering and technical community. Engineers and technicians in this area work on vehicle dynamics, electrical systems, testing and performance tuning. Road vehicle type-approval and safety requirements are overseen by national transport and road safety authorities.
Fees for Ireland: €1,490 (Euro), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Ireland
Is there a recognised professional body in Ireland for this area that this qualification is linked to?
Motorcycle engineering in Ireland has no single regulated professional title. Engineers commonly join Engineers Ireland, and motorsport or automotive professionals may participate in relevant industry associations. SEIUM's qualifications are private and not accredited by any national body, so they do not grant membership or licences. Check the requirements of any body you intend to join.
Would Irish employers in motorcycle and 2-wheeler sectors recognise this training?
Employers in Ireland, including dealerships, component suppliers and specialist workshops, decide for themselves how to value private online qualifications. Practical experience and demonstrable project work are often weighted heavily. The final project may help show your capability, but there is no guarantee of recognition or employment outcome.
How flexible is the programme for someone already working or running a business?
The programme is 100% online and taught in English, so it can be fitted around work from anywhere in Ireland. Specialist courses take 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 hours and master's programmes 1,900 hours. Fees can be paid in instalments, employer sponsorship is possible, and you receive an assigned technical tutor for guidance.

How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, making it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is EVerest, Eclipse Mosquitto, InfluxDB, Grafana, Python (Pyomo), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for simulating bidirectional charging sessions with OCPP, fleet flexibility dispatch optimisation, and threat analysis of an operations platform. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Explain vehicle-grid integration models and their services.
Analyse bidirectional hardware and grid connection requirements.
Apply charging communication and energy management protocols.
Design connectivity architectures for two-wheeler fleets.
Develop backend components for real-time operation.
