This paper describes assumptions, aims, methodology, content and consortium make up of a European project (SAM–EMU) founded under the Erasmus Lifelong Learning Programme. The project has developed learning materials in the field of evaluation of measurement uncertainty. It is available in the form of a multimedia web based course, which has many advantages. This format is commonly accepted as a good way to prepare an EU wide vocational training vehicle. The course is available in English.

► We present EU project where e-learning course on measurement uncertainty was developed. ► A curriculum was defined covering relevant topics related to measurement uncertainty. ► We developed a methodology for a mainly e-learning-based course amendable by workshops. ► Materials were developed on a web-based platform and evaluated in pilot courses. ► The course was evaluated and is available for students and for advanced training.
