ICT TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

Our ICT training and certification business is in two areas:-

Professional ICT Training And Certification

Professional ICT training and certification generally refers to industry based technical training and certification that are internationally recognised. This includes the provision of instructor-led short courses in ICT vendors' products and technologies. A certification examination is then held at the end of each training course.

Our professional ICT training and certification is aimed at providing specific and practical ICT skills for individuals entering the ICT industry, updating their skills and knowledge, expanding their skill sets, as well as preparing for career advancement. We provide professional ICT training and certification focusing on internationally recognised industry driven certifications to address the gap between competency levels of graduates to improve employability. 

Professional ICT certification is important as they serve as credentials of the individual's skill and knowledge base. Certification also provides a uniform and independent means of accessing a person's skill and knowledge base. This is because vendors like Microsoft or Oracle provide the training modules and the examination papers relating to the certification process. As such, all training materials and certification examinations are uniform across the world.

Our professional ICT training and certification are for specific and short courses, where each course takes approximately one (1) to six (6) weeks to complete. As such, professional ICT training and certification enables individuals to acquire specific knowledge and skill set on demand, as and when they need them. This also implies that individuals can adopt a lifelong learning paradigm to continually acquire knowledge, skills and new capabilities.

We undertake the following activities in our provision of professional ICT training and certification:-

Classroom based training
Trainer or instructor-led training where our trainers bring to the classroom a broad range of hands-on experience and expertise to transfer their skills and knowledge to the participants. All our courses are fully interactive and we provide step-by-step instructions on implementation of various technology solutions with all the necessary facilities and software applications. All the course materials and workbooks for the professional ICT courses are sourced directly from the respective technology or software vendors

Hands on practical training
Training solutions are built on practical real-world situations, which allow participants to perform each step individually in gaining valuable hands-on experience

Preparation of examination
We prepare all our participants for certification examinations

We provide a wide range of professional ICT training and certification encompassing approximately 40 types of courses from various internationally recognised technology and software vendors and organisations

Program Pentauliahan Professional (3P)
We commenced the provision of professional ICT training and certification in 2006 under the 3P Programme.

Under the 3P Programme, we provide professional ICT training and certification for public higher education institutions in Malaysia. In partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education, approximately 17,100 participants have participated in the 3P Programme throughout the country in the various globally benchmarked certifications such as those from Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems, CompTIA, and Oracle.

Currently, 3P is being offered to public higher education institutions in Malaysia. This includes 14 public universities, 21 polytechnics and 16 community colleges in Malaysia.
