Methodology, software & labs

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, so it fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MoTeC i2 Pro, MoTeC Dash Manager, MoTeC M1 Tune and Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures: creating workspaces, developing maths channels and analysing qualifying sessions. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.

Standards covered: ISO 11898-1, SAE J1939, ASAM MDF, FIA International Sporting Code Appendix J, ISO 8855.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO 11898-1, SAE J1939 and ASAM MDF applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:MoTeC i2 Pro, MoTeC Dash Manager, MoTeC M1 Tune and Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:a complete MoTeC analysis of a real session, from workspace and maths channels to analysis worksheets, technical report and a final reusable template, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
Capstone project
