Delivery Method: The course will be delivered through a combination of lectures, practical exercises, and hands-on projects. Students will be provided with relevant study materials and will be expected to complete assignments and projects as part of their training. The course can be conducted in-person or online, depending on the convenience of the students.

Duration: The course will have a total duration of 40 hours, which can be spread over a period of 4 weeks. The class will be held for 3 hours per day, 5 days a week.

Prerequisites:

• A basic understanding of digital electronics and programming concepts.

• Familiarity with C programming language.

• Basic knowledge of microcontrollers is preferred, but not mandatory.

Certification: Upon successful completion of the course and passing the exam, students will receive a certificate of completion.
