How you'll learn
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 the intake, so the programme fits around full-time work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standards and applied exercises. The working software is OpenTripPlanner, Postman, GTFS Validator, QGIS and Figma, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures: querying open transport data, mobility subscription pilots and user preference studies. Assessment is continuous by module, plus a final capstone project.
Standards covered: Directive 2010/40/EU; Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1926; Regulation (EU) 2016/679; Directive (EU) 2019/882; Directive (EU) 2015/2366; CEN/TS 16614; CEN/TS 15531.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
