The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship offers a range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different sectors of economy/ Labour market. The vocational training programmes are delivered under the aegis of Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS)with variants and Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer programmes of DGT for propagating vocational training

Mechanic Mining Machinery trade under CTS is delivered nationwide through a network of ITIs. The course is of two years duration. It mainly consists of Domain area and Core area. The Domain area (Trade Theory & Practical) imparts professional skills and knowledge, while Core area (Workshop Calculation & science, Engineering Drawing and Employability Skills) imparts requisite core skill, knowledge and life skills. After passing out the training program, the trainee is awarded National Trade Certificate (NTC) by DGT which is recognized worldwide.

Candidates broadly need to demonstrate that they are able to:

• Read & interpret technical parameters/documentation, plan and organize work processes, identify necessary materials and tools;
• Perform task with due consideration to safety rules, accident prevention regulations and environmental protection stipulations;
• Apply professional knowledge, core skills & employability skills while performing the job and machining work.
• Check the job/components as per drawing for functioning identify and rectify errors in job/components.
• Document the technical parameters related to the task undertaken.
