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, making it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is AMOS, CAMP Systems, Flightdocs and Microsoft Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for drafting general aviation maintenance programmes, simulated airworthiness reviews and maintenance record management. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.
Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 1321/2014, Annex Vb Part-ML, Annex I Part-M, Annex Vd Part-CAO, Annex III Part-66, Regulation (EU) 2019/1383, Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
