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 the intake, so the programme is compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulations and standards, and applied exercises. The working software is Microsoft Excel, @RISK, Python, PVsyst and WindPRO, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are built on real procedures: financial modelling of a renewable plant, risk allocation in a concession and taxonomy eligibility analysis of a project. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.
Standards covered: Spanish Act 9/2017, Equator Principles (EP4), Regulation (EU) 2020/852, IFC Performance Standards, Regulation (EU) 2023/2631, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), Regulation (EU) 2021/1153, Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR).
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
