CHENNAI, September 8: TransEd, the training division of Chennai based
Tranformation Systems, will soon introduce Pro@Net, a course exclusively
for college students. A diploma in Internet and client server technology,
the 6-month program will be priced Rs 25,000. To accommodate the students,
the company is opening centers in Adyar and Anna Nagar within the next
three months. It also plans to open centers in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
The company plans to invest Rs 5 crore in these ventures.
The program is open for students who have completed or are pursuing
courses in engineering, MCA and BSc computer science. The students are
also offered a free membership for the TransEd privileged member club.
Some of the benefits include guidance in the college project, placement
facilities, free entrance to TransEd's seminars and workshops and access
to lab facilities of the training institute.
TransEd Assistant Vice President A Namburaj, "Pro@Net is an
extension of the currently offered e-commerce course. Students registering
in the Pro@Net courses will be exempted from paying the course fee for our
regular e-commerce course. It addresses the basics of the e-commerce
courses such as Oracle and Developer 2000, Java programming language and
web development."
The company currently offers e-commerce and datawarehousing courses.
Costing Rs 45,000 for five months, the course, has been received well in
the market with 192 candidates registered since April, when the course
commenced. These courses are more focussed on the working professionals
and engineering students. The new centers will offer these courses as
well. With the increasing demand for the courses, the company is
increasing its infrastructure on its current premises by adding two more
classrooms. It currently has four classrooms.
The company expects 500 certified professionals will pass out from its
institute by the end of the fiscal. With the new centers coming up, the
number is anticipated to touch 900. Out of this, 100 professionals topping
the courses, will be absorbed by its parent company, TranSys. It is also
pursuing an ISO 9001 certification. The turnover of the company is
targeted at Rs 2 to 2.5 crore for the current financial year.
