Which programmes can I join?
The short answer
There are four paid career programmes: the AEP and PGDIA in our Electronic City classroom, and EPGDIA (live online) and the AIP (self-paced online). Each has its own page, fee and terms.

Besides the free courses, EDWartens India runs four career programmes. Fees, batch dates and terms are always on each programme's page, and nothing is charged until you agree.
- AEP, the Automation Engineer classroom programme. In person at our Electronic City centre, in phases you pass one at a time. It runs for between 3 and 12 months, depending on the phases you complete. See the AEP page.
- PGDIA, the Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Automation. Four weeks, Monday to Saturday, at the centre. See the PGDIA page.
- EPGDIA, the same diploma taught live online over four weeks, with the labs done in simulators on your own computer. See the EPGDIA page.
- AIP, applied and industrial AI. Online, self-paced, with recorded lessons and access for 12 months from purchase. See the AIP page.

These programmes are separate from the free courses. A free course never needs one, and the other way round.

- How do I join a classroom programme?Book free counselling (by the form or by phone), optionally visit the Electronic City centre, read the programme's terms, then pay as that programme says. Batch dates are on its page.
- How do the programme fees and instalments work?The AEP fee is agreed with you after counselling and can be paid in instalments. PGDIA is paid in full before the course starts. EPGDIA and the AIP are paid in full at checkout by UPI, card or netbanking, with GST included.
- Can I cancel a programme or get my fee back?It depends on the programme and on timing. Before a classroom programme starts you can cancel for a full or partial refund; once it has started, fees are generally not refundable. The AIP has its own 14-day rule.
- What is EDWartens?EDWartens India is the training brand of Wartens Automation Pvt Ltd in Bangalore. It offers free online engineering and AI courses with an optional certificate, and career programmes online and in the Electronic City classroom.
- Are the courses really free?Yes. Every lesson, the notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment of a free course cost nothing, with no card. Paying is optional: mainly the certificate once you pass. The career programmes are paid and separate.
- Who can join?Anyone aged 16 or over can take the free courses. If you are 16 or 17, a parent or guardian must agree when you sign up. The career programmes ask you to confirm you are 18 or older.
