Battery module repair course — studying from Singapore
Singapore's electromobility sector is growing under national plans for electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and cleaner public transport. The Energy Market Authority oversees energy transition policy, including hydrogen and energy storage, while the Land Transport Authority manages electric bus and taxi programmes. Research on battery technology and hydrogen is conducted at institutions such as the Nanyang Technological University. Employers include energy companies, charging network operators and battery and component suppliers serving the region.
Fees for Singapore: 1,090 S$ (Singapore dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Singapore
What language are the programmes taught in?
All programmes are taught in English.
Are SEIUM qualifications official degrees in Singapore?
No. SEIUM qualifications are private qualifications awarded by SEIUM Institute and are not official state degrees. Learners should check with the relevant professional bodies in Singapore about how any qualification is treated for their specific purpose.
Take the controls.
Run a real engineering trade-off from this field. Move the sliders, watch the model react in real time and beat the challenge.
What you will be able to do
Describe how battery modules and packs are built.
Apply safety measures when handling batteries.
Diagnose cells and modules through electrical testing.
Carry out cell and connection replacement techniques.
Verify insulation and leak-tightness after repair.
Document interventions and their traceability.
Assess the economics of repair versus replacement.

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 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 and equipment are BioLogic EC-Lab, Hioki BT3554 (battery tester), Arbin MITS Pro and FLIR Thermal Studio, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures: laboratory cell characterisation, repair of a module in a specialist workshop and post-repair verification tests. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final capstone project.
Standards covered: ISO 6469-1, Royal Decree 614/2001, UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, section 38.3, IEC 62660-1, UNECE Regulation No. 100, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, IPC/WHMA-A-620.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
