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, making it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera P6, Jira, Siemens Teamcenter and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures: planning a satellite programme with European partners, earned value tracking of an aircraft programme and analysis of an industrial cooperation agreement. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final capstone project.
Standards covered: ISO 21500:2021, ECSS-M-ST-10C, EN 9100:2018, ECSS-M-ST-80C, ISO 31000:2018, EN 9102:2015, Regulation (EU) 2021/821, PMI PMBOK Guide 7th edition.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
