Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

Fully 100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it possible to combine the programme with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MoTeC M1 Tune, ETAS INCA, Bosch Motorsport RaceCon, MATLAB/Simulink, AVL IndiCom, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real calibration procedures on engine dynamometers, chassis dynamometer testing and anti-lag validation on a closed-course section. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.

Accredited laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor test rig, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-driven Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentorship:instructors with a track record in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:a safety-by-design approach, OT cybersecurity, DIH and compliance as core pillars.

Frequently asked questions

The programme totals 800 hours spread over 6 to 8 months. That is an average of 10 to 15 hours per week, compatible with full-time work.

The programme uses MoTeC M1 Tune, ETAS INCA, Bosch Motorsport RaceCon, MATLAB/Simulink, AVL IndiCom. Free, academic or evaluation versions are used, and the tutor indicates the open-source alternative where one exists.

An SEIUM own diploma upon passing the continuous assessment and the integrative project. It is in-house training, not an official Ministry qualification.

Yes. Modules passed in a course or postgraduate diploma in the same area are recognised in the higher programme. Check the recognition policy when you enrol.
