Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

A 100% online programme 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 the 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 Vector CANoe, Keysight Scienlab, Rohde & Schwarz EMC32 and Comemso EV-Box tester, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures: type testing of charging equipment, electromagnetic compatibility testing during charging, and interoperability and conformance testing. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: UNECE R100, IEC 61851-1, ISO 15118-2, Regulation (EU) 2018/858, IEC 62196-2, UNECE R10, ISO/IEC 17025, Directive 2014/32/EU (MID).

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of UNECE R100, IEC 61851-1 and ISO 15118-2 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Vector CANoe, Keysight Scienlab, Rohde & Schwarz EMC32 and Comemso EV-Box tester, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A complete certification project for an EV or EVSE product, from requirements analysis and test plan to the full technical file, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
