How We Coach

Acceleratron researched that advanced courses are majorly available in urban cities, which are unavailable for rural candidates. If any candidate wants to take these courses, then they must stay temporarily in cities. Also, they send a lot of time, energy & money during their daily convenience.

To overcome all these situations, we deliver our course through virtual classes. During our interactive sessions, we engage our students with discussions & hands-on. Acceleratron learning process is divided into two parts, viz. knowledge gathering and skill development. Teachers & coaches deliver knowledge within the virtual interactive class. During these classes, students are provided with assignments which are time-bound activities.

Our Sessions

Our sessions are 2 hours long. The entire course takes approximately 36 Hrs. Every week two classes are organized, which include technical and practical class. These classes are scheduled on Monday & Friday. Mostly these sessions are arranged in the late evening to avoid any schedule conflicts with professionals and students. Candidates should also be available for the group activities like project discussion, project status meeting. On regular intervals (biweekly/monthly), we take feedback from our students to maximize the effectiveness of our learning process.

Journey with Acceleratron

Journey with Acceleratron starts from enrolment of a candidate through online enrolment form. During enrolment, each candidate pays enrolment fees*. Once enrolled, candidates will go through an intake discussion. We capture a few details about the candidate during this discussion.

We capture a few details about the candidate during this discussion. We start with our course delivery. At this point, candidates don't pay us any tuition fees*. After the first week, if the candidate is unhappy, we don't charge any tuition fees*

* The fees structure varies with the country from which the candidate is joining. Please contact Acceleratron help desk or your referee to get more insight on our fees structure. else he pays the first instalment of the tuition fees*. After the completion of the first month (started from the first class of the curriculum), If the candidate wants to continue with our course, then he pays the final instalment. We tailored our course in slots so that the candidates can always have an option to withdraw, without any financial loss.
