Internet of Things Course:
Internet of Things (IoT) is a very broad term that consists of a range of things starting from sensor-to-applications. Here at Emertxe Certified IoT Professional (ECIP) certainly focuses to transform engineers with skill-gap into ready-to-deploy resources for organizations working in IoT domain.
IoT is very vast with this in mind, our course has taken hands-on programming approach in the Embedded Systems side and integration approach in the cloud and application side. Hence it will be more apt to call our course as a Embedded IoT course.
Therefore this course enables fresh engineers to build end-to-end IoT solutions. It consist of following modules:
Details of Our Courses:

Personality Development Classes:
DISHA:
Disha is an initiative by Emertxe to guide our students with their career. Various activities are carried out under this initiative, In particulars are provided below.
We all know that it isn’t that easy to build a resume. The students undergo training right from the beginning on how to build a resume. In disha training our mentors help the students with preparing a resume by giving them resume preparation guidelines (For instance – how to highlight your skills in the resume? what are the key points to keep in mind while building a resume? etc).
The students are given a resume template and a sample resume for a fresher as well as an experienced person as a reference for them to build their resume. Afterall a high quality resume, is the one that puts an impression on the interviewer.
Benefits of DISHA
As a part of Disha training the students are trained on how to upskill their personal interview skills. There’s a saying that the interview depends on how you take it forward. The students are given personality development classes where the student can upscale their personality as a whole. As students come from various back drops it is very necessary to train them for the outside world which is so competitive. This helps the students to improve their communication skills, presentation skills and most importantly in setting positive attitude in them. Disha training continue to help our student become a better version of themselves and much more confident than before
Soft Skills Training:
Soft Skills Training is very important for every student in today’s world. Right out of college the students are not aware about the industry requirements and their work culture. We also provide training on how to face technical and HR interview rounds and impress their interviewer by overcoming all the hurdles. The main problem which students are students facing today is industry academia gap. We help them to bridge this gap by addressing them and training them in various fields. This helps them to transform themselves from campus to corporate. They become industry ready in a very short duration.
Benefits of Our Training:
Emertxe provides placement assistance to every individual student. Placement is very important phase to every student who is graduating from college. In this era, where lower skilled jobs are getting automated, such jobs are getting reduced day-by-day.
On the positive side there is a huge demand for students with higher skills in specialized areas like Embedded Systems and IoT. Hence we position our students to companies as higher skilled engineers who can help them to execute real-time projects in a faster phase.
With an average of 1.5 million engineers are graduating every year, students can differentiate themselves only by having higher skills. This aspect continue to be our focus with our students thereby making them job ready. Here are the three key benefits students get by taking up our trainings.
Benefit 1: Practical Training and Skill-building
At Emertxe, we strongly believe practical training is plays a key role in making fresh engineers job ready. Engineering education in India mainly focuses on theoretical aspects but not much into hands-on practical aspects.
Such approach creates a huge gap between industry and academia. Keeping all these aspects in mind, we train our students in a practical manner by giving them hands-on training sessions. Here the students get a minimum of 5 hours of practical oriented training sessions for a day.
The labs are well facilitated with advanced technology and there is always a lab instructor who can help them out with assignments and projects. Practical training encourages the students to learn and experiment more, thereby making learning more engaged and interesting.
On an average our students build 40+ assignments in each modules followed by 1-2 module specific projects. By the end of the course they would have built an excellent technical profile as mentioned in the T diagram below both for ECEP and ECIP courses. As we all know, one cannot become an expert overnight.
The more the student practices and explores, his/her expertise will become high.Most importantly practical work increases the students confidence. 80% of the training is by giving hands-on training sessions to students. This helps the students to gain more practical knowledge and will further become industry specific.
Now let us have a look at the T-Model’s for ECIP and ECEP courses. This will help us to get an idea of what we’ll learn by the end of the respective courses
Here is a course video that gives detailed explanation of the ECEP course.
Benefit 2: Coaching and Mentoring
The mentors here at Emertxe are professional experts in their field of study. They have a great teaching experience. They understand the hurdles faced by students and are very approachable to students at any point of time. Our mentors strongly believe that everything is possible to achieve if students work with sheer dedication and hardwork. By closely engaging with them on a hands-on training sessions, our mentors ensure students continuously improve their technical skills, as expected by placement companies. Along with technical sessions, our mentors also very closely work with students by providing him counselling sessions (called out in DISHA section below).
Here is a video that talks about student-mentor interaction at Emertxe.
Benefit 3: Placement Opportunities
Emertxe’s placement cell is tied up with 1200+ core companies across India. We are connected with companies starting from start-ups to mid-sized and MNCs. For students taking up the embedded systems and IoT course the placement begins once they complete the core programming courses like Advanced C / Python programming, which happens around 3 months after they join the course.
These skills are essential for our students to stand out among the rest of the crowd. As they continue to attend more modules in the course, placement chances and opportunity to convert them into jobs continue to increases. Adding this with our technical and soft-skills coaching our students are completely geared up to take up selection process with placement companies.
According to our statistics, with our practical training most of the students get placed in 3 or 4 chances itself. Core Companies like Robert Bosch, Qualcomm, HP, Huawei, Honeywell, Cavium Networks, Harman, Sasken, Global Edge, Mindtree, etc. come to recruit our students. The average salary package is 3 LPA with maximum salary going upto 15 LPA. We set a new record in January 2019 by having 43 companies coming to Emertxe to recruit our students. Placement is a massive achievement in every student’s life and we help them achieve it.
Let’s see a few of our students experience with Emertxe.
Conclusion:
Technologies go through changes, but foundations won’t. Hence, Emertxe ensures every course is built upon sound foundation paradigms, thereby maintaining good balance between latest technology and solid fundamentals. This coupled with our mentoring process and placement companies, prepares students for the industry. When prepared students face interview opportunities, it results in placement conversion / job that makes a huge difference in student’s life. With our vision of making life easier, our training programs continue to strive to live our vision on a daily basis!
