Building on fundamental principles of electrical safety and professional practice, this course focuses on the safe handling, operation, and risk management of battery systems in industrial environments. Batteries combine high energy density with reactive chemical materials, making them critical components that require a high level of technical awareness, discipline, and professional judgement.

Automotive

The course introduces the concept of predictive maintenance and explains its basic principles. It also compares predictive maintenance with preventive maintenance, highlighting key differences in maintenance planning and failure prevention. The course presents technologies used in predictive maintenance, including sensors, data analysis, and monitoring systems, as well as software that supports failure prediction. Examples of applications in various industries are also included.

Automotive

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts and essential procedures of quality assurance, quality management, and reliability within the automotive industry. The course introduces the most important standardized methods used for testing electronic materials and components. It also examines common failure mechanisms and potential protection strategies. Finally, several case studies are presented to illustrate practical applications of the discussed principles.

This course provides a practical introduction to implementing new or updated training programmes within the green and digital transition of the mobility ecosystem.

The focus is on how already designed training programmes are brought into practice. Participants work with planning the rollout of modular training offers, engaging key stakeholders, and addressing common challenges that arise during implementation.

The course is aimed at VET and higher education trainers, programme coordinators, and project managers involved in applying newly developed curricula in real-world training contexts.

Automotive

This short course provides a practical introduction to designing coherent training programmes that respond to emerging skills needs in the automotive and mobility sectors.

The course focuses on how individual modules, learning units, and formats can be combined into a structured training programme based on job roles and competence requirements. Rather than focusing on teaching methods or implementation processes, the course addresses the overall programme architecture and the logic that connects competencies, modules, and progression.

The course is aimed at educators, trainers, curriculum developers, and programme coordinators who work with the development of new or updated training offers and wish to strengthen their ability to design clear, flexible, and role-oriented training programmes.

Training Methodologies 

This short course focuses on how teachers and trainers select and apply training methodologies in real teaching situations. Rather than presenting methods as fixed solutions, the course explores method selection as a professional judgement that must balance learning objectives, participant prerequisites, risk levels, and demands for transfer to practice.

Participants gain insight into how different methodological choices shape learning, engagement, and applicability, particularly in vocational and technical training contexts within the automotive and mobility sectors. The course supports trainers and instructional designers in making more conscious, well-founded methodological decisions in their teaching practice.

Automotive

Instructional Design

This course introduces key principles for designing effective, practice-oriented short-term training programmes. It focuses on didactic choices that support learning, motivation and transfer through theoretical instruction, differentiation, assessment and microlearning approaches.

The course is designed for educators, trainers and project staff working in VET, HE and related learning contexts.

Automotive

Enthusiasm 

This course explores how professional enthusiasm can strengthen motivation, engagement and learning in vocational education.

You will learn how your presence, communication and relationships with learners influence the learning environment, and how enthusiasm can be used as a practical teaching tool — not a personality trait.

The course is practice-oriented and designed to be directly applicable in everyday teaching.

Curriculum Design

This short course introduces participants to the fundamentals of curriculum design in the context of green and digital transformation within the mobility and automotive sectors.

Automotive

This course builds on foundational knowledge to explore advanced industrial sensors and their integration into automation systems. Covering proximity, position, force/torque sensors, and electrical connections, learners will develop the ability to choose, configure, and evaluate sensors in dynamic and precision scenarios, gaining practical skills for high-performance, safe, and intelligent industrial applications.

Automotive

This course offers a practical, structured approach to the fundamentals of industrial sensing, combining core principles with real-world examples and hands-on applications. Focusing on temperature, pressure, level, and flow sensors, learners will explore how these devices operate, compare technologies, and select the most suitable sensors for various industrial processes, building the skills needed to monitor and optimise automation systems effectively.

Automotive

Modern industry relies on electrical automation to drive productivity, ensure safety, and maintain efficiency across numerous processes. This course provides a hands-on introduction to the core principles of industrial automation, focusing on the interpretation and application of control logic using real-world electromechanical systems.

This module, developed within the Digital & Green Skills Towards the Future of the Mobility Ecosystem (Trireme) project, explores Environmental Competence for Managers, a crucial capability for modern businesses. It highlights integrating environmental considerations into corporate strategies to enhance sustainability, regulatory compliance, and competitive advantage.

The module examines key components of environmental competence, including knowledge of environmental policies, sustainable resource management, ethical responsibilities, and leadership approaches in environmental decision-making. It underscores the role of competence-based management theories in fostering sustainability and emphasises the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and circular economy strategies into business models.

Challenges in developing environmental competence, such as resistance to change, financial constraints, and lack of expertise, are discussed alongside case studies of corporate environmental failures, including Volkswagen’s emissions scandal and BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill. The document also presents emerging trends, including ESG-driven corporate governance, technological advancements in sustainability, and the growing importance of circular economy principles.

The module concludes with strategic recommendations for business leaders, advocating for mandatory ESG training, adopting AI-driven sustainability analytics, integrating circular economy models, and strengthening regulatory compliance frameworks. By implementing these measures, organisations can enhance resilience, foster innovation, and maintain long-term competitiveness in an increasingly eco-conscious business landscape.
