Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

The programme is delivered 100% online 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 SAP PM, IBM Maximo, ReliaSoft Weibull++, Isograph Availability Workbench and OPUS10 (Systecon), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for RCM analysis of vehicle systems, spare parts inventory optimisation and reliability analysis with fleet data. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ASD S3000L, ASD S1000D, SAE JA1011, ASD S4000P, ISO 55001:2014, ISO 10007:2017, AQAP 2110 and MIL-HDBK-502A.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ASD S3000L, ASD S1000D and SAE JA1011 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:SAP PM, IBM Maximo, ReliaSoft Weibull++, Isograph Availability Workbench and OPUS10 (Systecon), in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:a complete fleet sustainment project covering maintenance data analysis, availability diagnosis, a maintenance plan, logistic optimisation and economic analysis, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
