During the course, Kejriwal will have not have access to newspapers or television.
An AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) leader said that Kejriwal would leave Delhi on August 1 and return on August 12.
"The course will start from August 2 and continue till August 11. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will be in-charge of the government affairs in his absence," said that leader.
