Training provided in QMTI is aimed to facilitate respectable employment to a soldier after his retirement. The courses and syllabus thereof are chosen based on the employment potential, academic qualification and further progress in that career. Training can be broadly grouped into two categories – knowledge based and skill based.

Duration of the main courses is one or two years.During this period all soldiers, irrespective of the course, are

encouraged and motivated to concurrently acquire computer, English speaking and other soft skills. They are also put through a short capsule of personality development. The academic session starts every year on 01 Aug. In addition to these courses, pre-release training is also imparted to normal retiring soldiers of the three defense services.

Courses for this are allotted to QMTI by DGR and details are available in the PBOR book released by DGR.
