01About the course
What you will learn in Basic Mechanical
Executive Diploma Basic Mechanical is a short foundation course from CADD Centre's mechanical track, delivered at CareerKraft. In 12 hours it covers the ideas every mechanical design learner needs: how to read an engineering drawing, common units and measuring tools, the main engineering materials, standard machine elements such as fasteners, bearings and gears, and how parts are actually made in a workshop.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Basic Mechanical taught live by a trainer.
Basic computer use and school-level maths are enough. No prior engineering drawing knowledge is required.
