Plumbing and Fitting

COURSE OUTLINE

The IEDC has been set up by IWA group with the objective among others to provide training to the building industry work force, having discovered a gap in the operation of the existing work force.

IWA group had put up an excellent infrastructures consisting of the art training facilities like class rooms, workshop with modern machines and audio visual have been created to impact quality training.

We have selected experience team of qualified lecturers and technologist many of them have gained experienced both in the industrial and academic field.

The course outline has been so designed to provide the students with the basic knowledge along with specialized and specific requirements keeping in view the prevalent industrial workings and standards. The short come of the existing work force is equally considered. To support the lectures, case studies are presented to the students, to understand the craft fully. Group discussions are encouraged to solve problems through interaction among themselves and with industrial experts.

Industrial visits are also arranged for students for much needed industrial exposure where the need arises.
