The Certificate Course in Electrician is a two-year Programme offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering, Technical College, Dayalbagh Educational Institute (Deemed University), Dayalbagh, Agra in the Distance Education mode at several out-station locations across the country. The course is NCVT- aligned and the eligibility for this programme is Class X pass under 10+2 system of education or its equivalent.

The Certificate Programme in Electrician is divided into 4 semesters (two years), the first two semesters having 9 courses comprising of 2 trade theories, 2 trade practicals, 3 compulsory courses as per NCVT guidelines viz. Workshop Calculation and Science, Engineering Drawing and Employability Skills and finally 2 Core courses of DEI are included. Each trade theory or trade practical course is divided into 5 Units of 6 lessons each i.e. a total of 30 lessons. The 3 compulsory courses have been divided into two parts-each part to be completed in each of the first two semesters. There is a summer term of 30 days comprising of two trade practical and workshop courses after the first year, followed by a two semester term of practical industrial training.

The trade theory and trade practical courses have been designed by the Department of Electrical Engineering and they cover all the topics in the Two year Certificate Programme in Electrician under the Craftsman Training Scheme of the Government of India, Ministry of Employment & Labour (DGE&T). Hence the Certificate Programme of the DEI is equivalent to Electrician course offered under the Craftsman Training Scheme. The self-learning material provided to the student is supplemented and supported by video lessons which are shown to the student before the study of each lesson. In addition, workshop practice forms a major portion of studies.

In view of the above features of the programme, the student is given the option to exit from the programme after one year.

Education is provided in blendedmode through printed self-learning material and DVDs containing a lot of visuals. The course material is prepared by a team of experts. Besides the skill of the trade, other values like Cultural Education,Co-Curricular Activities, games etc are also included in the one year programme for an all-round  and complete personality grooming of the candidate.

The Certificate holder will acquire the required skills over a period of four semesters. The teaching is divided into a 80% practical component and 20% theory lecture component. In  the Certificate programme, bulk of the stress is on practical aspects. The primary purpose of the programmeis to enable the students to focus on a particular set of working skills which should lead to a vocation or employment. The evaluation is done by internal as well as external experts.
