Currently they advertise about the

Currently they advertise about the services that they provide through the pamphlets (available at the centres), advertisements in news papers, and through other media like through television advertisements, etc. in order to attract the people. Usually they conduct the trainings on half yearly basis every year.

They generally conduct an entrance exam through which they can know the knowledge level of the participant and thus depending on the exam marks they segregate the participants or the students into the appropriate class rooms like for the participant not having the minimum knowledge will be given training right from the basics till the certification level and for the participants having the minimum knowledge about the basics will be segregated in to the class where they direct start with the basic certification topics with out touching the basic concepts of the subject.

Once the examination results are out, they inform the participants with the results, and ask them to visit the institution on a particular date for counseling purpose, where they inform the students with which class they will be segregated and regarding the course fees based on the class segregated. If the student is interested in taking the class, then he will be provided with the class form in which he/she is segregated and then they are directed to the accounts department where the student needs to make the payment in order to join the class. The student can make the payment for the class, at least 1 day before the commencement of the class.

For the training with the basics they usually charge around 6000$, and the duration for the training will be for 6 months. And for the training with out the basics they charge around 4275$, and the duration will be for 4 months.

They also provide the practice sessions (extra lab sessions) separate from the course duration, i.e., after the successful completion of the course if the student wishes to practice the lab sessions at the lab in the institution, he (student) can prefer at the time of registering for the course. And for this they charge around 1000$ separately from the course fees. But the student has to opt it at the time of getting registered for the course itself. Else if student wants to opt for it at the end of the course based on his requirement, then they will charge 1500$.

Note: The extra lab sessions are only available for the students who have registered for the course offered by the institution. And for this they provide guidance too by one of the faculty members.

After the completion of the certification course, they conduct the final examination and based on the marks secured the respective faculty members provides the suggestions and feedback like what are areas of improvement, where extra practice is to be delivered, which other materials apart from the course materials can be preferred, etc. Thus, ensuring that they pay maximum attention to the students and making the student benefited for joining this institution.

For going into the library that the institution provides, the student must display his identity card. And they do not allow the student to carry out the library books to his / her house.
