    Messaging.reserveSingleEmailCapacity(trigger.size);
    List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
    for (Course__c c: Trigger.old) {
        c.adderror ('can not delete');
        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        email.setToAddresses(new String[] {'ranjan.soubhagya2015@gmail.com'});
        email.setSubject('Deleted Account Alert');

Set sendEmail method out of for loop. 
Trigger ErrorDelete on Course__c(before delete) {
    Messaging.reserveSingleEmailCapacity(trigger.size);
    List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
    for (Course__c c: Trigger.old) {
        c.adderror ('can not delete');
        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        email.setToAddresses(new String[] {'ranjan.soubhagya2015@gmail.com'});
        email.setSubject('Deleted Account Alert');
        email.setPlainTextBody('This message is to alert you that the account  has been deleted.');
        emails.add(email);
    }
     Messaging.sendEmail(emails);
}
I tried this on Contact (because I don't have the custom object) with my email address and commenting the adderror line. And it works!

Hi Soubhagya,
Sorry for misunderstanding... Unfortunately, the adderror method prevents all transactions from committing including emails.
