Deliver these programmes at your institution
Authorised partner centres deliver AITO programmes under their own name, with assessment conducted on their own premises.
AITO is a skill-certification organisation and is not a university. Programmes offered are skill and vocational certification programmes; they do not lead to any degree and are not approved by the UGC, AICTE or DEC. Certificates attest to assessed practical skill competence.
