Description
- The Training Provider Registration process with the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) is a mandatory corporate compliance requirement in Malaysia for companies wishing to operate as official training vendors. This registration enables an organization’s training programs to be recognized under the HRD Corp Claimable Courses scheme, allowing employer clients to utilize their accumulated human resources levy to pay for training. This process ensures that the consultancy or training agency operates under strict governance standards set by the Ministry of Human Resources, fostering immediate corporate trust and unlocking access to Malaysia’s multi-million ringgit corporate training market.
