Course Overview
The Oil Hydraulics And Pneumatics certification course is designed for engineering students who are interested in the subject of fluid power. This is an AICTE approved course which is provided by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. The course covers topics such as hydrostatic, hydraulic fluids and pumps, etc. The Oil Hydraulics And Pneumatics training provides access to the course to its students throughout the year as it is available all the time on the website. The course is provided by the platform of Swayam which is a government-initiated platform that aims to give free education to the students in the online mode.
The Oil Hydraulics And Pneumatics programme also provides certification at the end of the candidate wishes to go through the process of a proctored exam by paying the exam fees. The course can be joined by the student anytime. Similarly, the candidate can leave the sessions according to his wish. The course is a self-paced course and can be completed at the given time of 3 months or according to the student's time. The Oil Hydraulics And Pneumatics certification course provides notes to the students through online video lectures, case studies, tests, discussion groups, and assignments.
