Agriculture as an occupation is amphi-natured. Agriculture as a discipline is highly scientific and technical but the population that is engaged in this profession is quite contradictory. Majority of the respondents have only low level of education. Certificate courses of the DODL, TNAU were a boon to the people to have sound scientific and technical knowledge. Hence the quality of such courses has to be monitored often. Mushroom production course was chosen among the 21 courses offered and responses were collected from the successfully completed beneficiaries. This paper attempts to explain the effectiveness of the course with respect to six dimensions which would be very much helpful to develop the quality of the course and increase the coverage of people being educated through the institution in distance mode
