What is Industrial Embedded Systems?
Most of the institutes, who claim to be Embedded Training institutes, provide training on Educational boards like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Whereas the actual Industry never uses these educational boards for real product development.
Because of this difference, there will be a huge GAP between the candidate’s knowledge and the Industry requirement.
KERNEL MASTERS fills this GAP by providing the Industrial Embedded AI hardware boards (STM32, ARM Cortex M4) for training, where the student gets to learn everything from scratch, which helps the companies to deploy the students to the core parts of their projects without any extra training.
Hardware Details:
Kernel Masters has designed and developed Industrial Hardware boards in collaboration with Embedded Core Companies.
These Hardware boards will be used as part of the course for real-time project.
Students need to purchase the board at the time of project. Hardware Cost not included in course fees.
- Total estimated cost of hardware kit for Embedded C project will be 4800/- + GST + Shipping.
- The kit comes with below components:
- STMicroelectronics based RaayanMini Board (For Embedded C and RTOS)
- ST Link V2 Debugger
- ESP32 Wi-Fi Module
- USB TO UART TTL 5V 3.3V CH340G module
Course Layout
- This training consists of 30% Theory and 70% practicals.
- This course will be delivered in a Blended mode.
- Regular Assignments will be assigned and verified through customised gitlab Learning Management system
- Assessments & LAB Vivas are conducted for each topic, on weekends.
- Online LAB Support is provided through Learning Management System & through one-one online meetings where issues can be verified and resolved.
- Embedded C project will be conducted using STM32 based Raayanmini Hardware kit. We do not use Simulators for project.
- Hardware boards will be sent to the candidate’s house before project commencement.
- The quality of online training will be maintained similar to Offline training with the same amount of practical handson.
- We have limited seats to facilitate individual focus to maintain quality of content.
Industrial Oriented Training [with Embedded latest trends AI/ML/IoT]:
- The course is classified into 2 parts: 1st three months of conceptual training & 2nd three months of Internship.
- First half of the course will focus on Programming concepts & Embedded Basics.
- Second half of the course will focus on applying the skillset obtained in first half, in real-time Industry.
- Second half of the course(Internship) will include Placement Assistance program.
- Students will be given projects in one of the below areas during the Industrial Training:
– Artificial Intelligence
– Machine Learning
– Internet of Things
Admission Process:
-
What is the admission process for freshers?
- Before joining any regular training batch, we recommend all freshers to attend a 3-day offline workshop at Kernel Masters which is FREE.
- This workshop introduces key concepts in Embedded AI & IoT that are essential for beginners.
-
Why is the 3-day workshop mandatory?
- Many freshers come with little or no background in embedded systems.
- This workshop is designed to teach the basics and help you gain hands-on exposure to what you’ll learn in our full-time courses.
-
Is there a test after the workshop?
- Yes. After the workshop, we conduct an Offline Scholarship Test to assess your understanding of the topics covered.
-
When is the scholarship test conducted?
- 🗓️ Date: The test is usually held the day after the workshop ends.
- 🕘 Time: 9:00 AM
-
What is the syllabus for the test?
- The test will be based only on the topics taught during the 3-day workshop.
- 📚 No external preparation is needed, and no prior experience is expected.
-
What’s the benefit of the test?
- Your performance in the test will determine your ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTS OR SCHOLARSHIPS on our regular training programs.
-
Why offline and not online?
- We believe in fair assessment.
- Offline tests prevent copying and allow us to genuinely identify merit-based students—not just good Googlers.
-
What should I do next?
-
Register Now for the 3-Day Workshop (online or by visiting our campus).
-
Attend all 3 days of the workshop to learn the basics and understand the full training roadmap.
-
Note:
- Both the workshop and the scholarship test are completely free.
- There are no registration or hidden charges — just show up with interest and sincerity!
Placements:
- There will be guaranteed placement opportunities from our campus, once after completion of 5 months of course.
- Placement support will be provided till placement or upto one year after course completion whichever is earlier.
- No limit on number of companies.
