How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is TEXA IDC5, Bosch ESI[tronic] 2.0, PicoScope 7 Automotive, Vector CANalyzer, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work covers real guided diagnosis procedures for intermittent faults in the ABS system, timing of maintenance operations in an official workshop, and validation of a labour time guide for a new model. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Interpret the electronic architecture and communication networks of a motorcycle.
Use diagnostic tools to read codes and parameters and carry out adaptations.
Diagnose electrical and mechanical faults using systematic methods.
Measure workshop work through timing and predetermined motion time systems.
Produce reliable, validated labour time guides.
