Two certificate courses in automobile industry: by Micro Small & Medium Enterprises Development Institute

The Micro Small & Medium Enterprises Development Institute will launch two certificate courses in automobile technology on July 1, complying with the government directive to develop skill development courses. According to S Sivagnanam, director of the institute, despite the economic slowdown, the number of automobiles in the city was increasing and there were not enough trained service personnel to cater to the demand. "Every street has several unauthorised service centres with personnel who have had no training and to whom no proper skill has been imparted. Customers spend their money on bad servicing," he said. The certificate and advanced certificate courses in automobile technology will run for three months from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday. They fees for the courses are Rs 7,000 and 8,000, respectively. Candidates applying for the certificate course should have passed Class VIII, while those wishing to take the advanced certificate course should have studied in the ITI. There is a fee concession for women, SC/ST candidates and those with disabilities. At least 50% of students will be placed in various industries. Students will also be encouraged to start their own enterprises. The institute is likely to launch training programmes and seminars through VSAT by mid-July and an e-learning programme to enable distance learning on October 2. From July, the institute will start online and direct counselling on credit and export.
