In Malaysia, most companies pay into a national training fund run by HRD Corp. It is money set aside by law to help teams learn and grow.
If your company pays it, you can use it to train your people. Many just do not know how. This page shows you, in plain words.
Approved training provider seal. We can run claimable programmes.
This seal means we are accredited or licensed to deliver HRD Corp training.
This seal means your team can train with us using your levy .
what is the hrd corp levy?
If your company pays into HRD Corp, that money is already yours. It is a small slice of payroll, usually around 1%, set aside every month for staff training.
Think of it as prepaid training money. You put it in each month, and you get it back when you train your team. Many companies forget it is there.
can we claim?
If your company has 10 or more Malaysian staff, you pay this levy by law. Companies with 5 to 9 staff can choose to join. Either way, if you pay in, that money is yours to use for training.
Almost every private company is covered now. Retail, food, construction, schools, clinics, services. If that is you, the fund is likely sitting there already.
Not sure of your status? Your HR or finance team will be able to clarify immediately.
How it works, in four simple steps
1. We agree on the training your team needs. We can co design it with you.
2. We apply to HRD Corp for you, and get it approved before we begin.
3. We deliver the training.
4. HRD Corp pays us from your levy. In most cases your team pays little or nothing out of pocket. We handle the paperwork from start to finish.
That is it.
Why train with us?
We are HRD Corp accredited, as a trainer and as a training provider. So our programmes can be claimed.
We focus on the human skills that hold a team together. Empathy. Honest conversations. Ethical clarity.
Retreats too, even abroad
We accommodate and co-design retreats, including overseas. When a retreat is built as real training, it can be claimed through your levy.
We have one in Bali right now, at the foot of sacred Mt Agung. Quiet, local, and warm. It is waiting for the right group to fill it.
Want to see how this works for your team?
Let's co-design for your team, this year or next.
We recognise and pay respect to the collective wisdom of the Orang Asli and the Nusantara peoples: our communities, our ancestors, our elders past, present and future, across the lands and the rivers, the mountains and the seas.
