Course Overview

An 8-week online course is provided for the Bulk Material Transport and Handling Systems Certification. Even if Swayam is contracted to teach the course, IIT Kharagpur creates and approves the course syllabus. The organisations that issue this course certificate are NPTEL and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

The Metallurgy and Material Science and Mining Engineering core curriculum includes training in bulk material transport and handling systems. Khanindra Pathak is the trainer for this certification programme.

The Bulk Material Transport and Handling Systems Certification course is a 12-week online program. The course syllabus is prepared and verified by IIT Kharagpur even if Swayam is appointed to provide the course. This course certificate is presented by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and NPTEL.

Bulk Material Transport and Handling Systems training is a part of the Metallurgy and Material Science & Mining Engineering core curriculum. This certification course is taught by Khanindra Pathak.

Bulk Material Transport and Handling Systems training covers automation, online monitoring, and operations of bulk material handling like transferring, transporting, size reduction, screening, storing, disposal, drying, weighing, etc., as well as bulk material storage systems, screens, crushers, feed and discharge devices, conveyors, and many aspects of industrial materials handling equipment's construction, safe operation, maintenance, and repair.
