Dillah reiterated that the courses are certified by the Department of Skills Development or JPK under
the Ministry of Human Resources.
“Upon completion of the one and a-half to two years’ courses, students are expected to be efficient in their relevant skills as a preparation to meet the demands of the labour market,” he said.
Students enrolling for the programme also stand to enjoy 10 per cent discount, provided their tuition fees are paid in full on or before Jan 13.
“Short courses can also benefit those who are self-employed. Apart from the career advantages short courses can offer, they may offer new ideas and skills that can really fire up the mind and inspire greater business success,” said Dillah.
