In-House Training in Malaysia,
Built Around Your Team

Yes. In-house sessions are delivered nationwide, including East Malaysia. Where training is held 100km or more from where participants normally work, the HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix treats trainee and trainer allowances, accommodation, airfare, and chartered transport as claimable costs on top of the course fee, subject to approval and claim requirements. We quote these separately so your approver sees exactly what sits where.

Sometimes, and we will tell you when it is a bad idea. Two related topics with a shared audience can often be condensed into one well-designed day. Two unrelated topics compressed into a day usually means neither is covered properly. Note that HRD Corp counts a full training day as at least seven hours, so a combined day still has to be a full day, not a rushed afternoon.

Yes. Repeat runs for different shifts or locations are common, and are quoted as a series rather than separate one-off sessions. Materials and trainer stay consistent so both groups get identical content. On the funding side, each batch is treated as its own group by HRD Corp, so plan for a grant application per batch rather than one covering both.

English is the standard delivery language for all our programmes. Bahasa Malaysia or bilingual delivery can be arranged on request, subject to trainer availability for that particular topic. Tell us at enquiry stage rather than after the trainer is confirmed, so we can match the right person from the start.

Four weeks is comfortable. The arithmetic matters if you are claiming: HRD Corp requires in-house training to begin no earlier than 14 days after your grant is approved, and the application needs our quotation, course outline, and accredited trainer profile attached before you can submit it. Working backwards from your target date, that leaves roughly a fortnight for the discovery call and tailoring. Shorter timelines can sometimes work for standard content, but the 14-day rule is HRD Corp's and cannot be shortened.

For skills-based programmes such as Excel, a short pre-training questionnaire helps us pitch the content at the right level rather than losing half the room in the first hour. It is optional, takes a few minutes, and the summary comes back to you before the session.

In-house training is quoted for the group rather than per head, so a few absences do not change the fee and the session runs as planned. You are free to substitute other staff into empty seats. Two things to watch on the claim side: HRD Corp requires each participant to complete at least 75% of the total training hours for their attendance to count, and if fewer than five people actually attend, the course fee is prorated. If your numbers change substantially before the date, tell us early.
