Course Overview
The Welding Processes certification course is an AICTE approved FDP program. It is provided by IIT Madras. Candidates will learn about the welding process, resistance spot, and electron beams.
The course is provided to all the participants for free of cost. The course offers its learning in the online mode and it is offered for the duration of 12 weeks. This is a self-paced training which is provided in association with the platform of Swayam and students are allowed to take more time to complete the Welding Processes certification syllabus of the program. Students can learn from the video lectures on their own when the syllabus is completed by the mentor.
The program offers flexible timings to all the participants and there are no limitations regarding attendance or timings of the sessions. The course provides a discussion group for all the students in which they can clear their doubts regarding the topics. The Welding Processes online course offers the certification for the course for which the students will have to give an offline exam by paying the exam registration fees. Students will get the study material with the course for free which includes video lectures, tests, assignments, case studies, etc.
