• SBL-KHAS Scheme
• PROLUS Scheme (Program Latihan yang Diluluskan)

SBL Scheme (Skim Bantuan Latihan)

Prior approval must first be obtained from the Secretariat for programmes/ courses under the SBL Scheme. This scheme enables employers to identify their own training needs and formulate training programmes to retrain and upgrade skills of employees in line with their operational as well as business requirements.
The training courses can be conducted either on-the-job, off-the-job or even a combination of both so as to suit the requirements of enterprises. Training can be carried out either by their own trainers or by external trainers if there is a lack of internal expertise. Apart from this, local enterprises can also engage and recruit qualified trainers from abroad if local expertise is not sufficient or available

In order to qualify for the training grants, the training programmes must be structured and possess the following criteria: ...

• Specific training objectives
• Specific training activities or lesson plans
• Instructional guides by qualified instructors/trainers
• Assessment to determine the attainment of training objectives
