ARP4754A Process Course — studying from Singapore

Fees for Singapore: 655 S$ (Singapore dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Singapore

Can I study while working full time in Singapore?

Yes. The programmes are 100% online, and learners can organise their study around work hours, with recorded material and a dedicated technical tutor supporting progress at a flexible pace.

Will SEIUM help me register as a professional engineer in Singapore?

SEIUM does not guarantee registration. Registration as a professional engineer is decided by the Professional Engineers Board, and learners should verify the requirements with the Board before enrolling.

How you'll learn

Training is 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 you can combine it with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is IBM DOORS, Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB Simulink, Jama Connect and Capella, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied on real procedures for drafting systems development plans, allocating FDAL and IDAL, and building validation and verification matrices. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrated project.

Standards covered: SAE ARP4754A / EUROCAE ED-79A, SAE ARP4754B, SAE ARP4761A, FAA AC 20-174, CS-25 (25.1309), RTCA DO-178C, RTCA DO-254 and AMC 25.1309.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of SAE ARP4754A / EUROCAE ED-79A, SAE ARP4754B and SAE ARP4761A applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:IBM DOORS, Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB Simulink, Jama Connect and Capella, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:an ARP4754A processes project for an aircraft function, from system architecture and requirements allocation to assurance levels, validation and verification plans and certification data summary, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.

Frequently asked questions

The programme totals 300 hours over 3 months. You set your own pace within each intake, and your tutor helps you plan the workload around your job.

You work with IBM DOORS, Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB Simulink, Jama Connect and Capella, using free, academic or evaluation versions. Your tutor indicates the free alternative wherever one exists.

A SEIUM Institute certificate, awarded on passing the continuous assessment and the final project. It is SEIUM's own qualification, not an official state degree; its recognition depends on the programme completed and the regulations of each country.

Yes. Modules passed are recognised in a higher programme in the same area (postgraduate diploma or master's). Ask about the recognition policy when you enrol.

No prior qualification is required; you need an internet connection, a computer capable of running the programme software and English sufficient to read technical standards.

Start dates are set by SEIUM's faculty for each intake. Our admissions team will confirm the next available date when you apply.
