What Is eLATiH by HRD Corp?
eLATiH, marketed as Malaysia's premier online learning hub, is HRD Corp's e-learning platform, launched in 2020 to give Malaysians free, self-paced skills training that improves employability and income prospects. The catalogue holds more than 1,000 free courses alongside premium titles, drawn from global content partners such as Harvard Business Publishing, Accenture, AirAsia Academy, and Google training partners. Every completed course returns a Certificate of Completion from HRD Corp. The platform runs entirely in a web browser on any device, with no dedicated mobile app, and covers personal and professional development from leadership and digital skills to finance, manufacturing, and creative arts.
Is eLATiH Free to Use?
Yes. The core of eLATiH is a library of over 1,000 free courses that any Malaysian can take at no cost and without employer sponsorship. The platform also sells premium courses, typically priced from around RM10 to RM580, but the free catalogue is the main draw and needs no levy contribution to access.
How Does eLATiH Differ from HRD Corp Registered Training Providers?
eLATiH is for individual self-learners taking free online courses. A registered training provider works with levy-paying employers to deliver claimable, often instructor-led training. The table below sets the two apart.
| Aspect | eLATiH | Registered training provider |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Individual learners | Levy-paying employers and their staff |
| Format | Self-paced online courses | Instructor-led or structured programmes |
| Cost | Free (premium tier optional) | Quoted per programme, claimable |
| Levy claim | Not claimed against employer levy | Claimable under SBL and SBL-Khas |
| Listed in ETRIS | No | Yes |

- Finish the course at your own pace and download the Certificate of Completion.
There is no deadline. You can start anytime, pause, and resume, since every course on eLATiH is self-paced.
Can a Registered Training Provider Publish Courses on eLATiH?
Yes. Beyond the public catalogue, HRD Corp runs eLATiH Content Provider (CP) access, which lets approved organisations publish their own courses on the platform. Several HRD Corp registered training providers already do this. Access Ideas, for example, runs its programmes on eLATiH. A provider listed in the ETRIS registry can apply for CP access to reach eLATiH learners, which is separate from delivering claimable instructor-led training.
