IT and Technology Training Providers

HRD Corp claimable IT training spans cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, software development, and vendor certifications that employers in Malaysia can fund through their monthly levy contributions. Whether a company needs to upskill developers, prepare network engineers for vendor certifications, or train staff on cloud platforms, the costs are recoverable through the SBL (Skim Bantuan Latihan) or SBL-Khas (Skim Bantuan Latihan Khas) scheme via the eTRIS portal. All providers listed on this page are registered with HRD Corp and their programmes are claimable.

Who Should Consider HRD Corp IT Training

IT training under HRD Corp suits employers across all sectors, not only technology companies. Banks, manufacturers, logistics firms, and government-linked companies regularly use their levy to train IT departments, business analysts, and operations staff who rely on digital tools. Individual contributors seeking certifications for career advancement benefit directly when their employer sponsors the enrolment.

How Employers Claim IT Training Through HRD Corp

Employers submit claims through the eTRIS system. The two main schemes are SBL (Skim Bantuan Latihan), which allows post-training claims, and SBL-Khas, which requires pre-approval before the course begins. IT training with high course fees or specialised vendor curricula usually goes through SBL-Khas to lock in approval.

The steps are straightforward. Identify a registered training provider that offers the required programme. Confirm the programme code is active on eTRIS. Submit the application under SBL or SBL-Khas before the training date if pre-approval is needed. After training, submit attendance records, invoices, and completion certificates through eTRIS to complete the claim.

What to Verify Before Enrolling

Check these points before committing to any IT programme:

• The provider’s registration status is active on the HRD Corp portal.
• The specific programme code is listed under the provider’s approved courses.
• The training format (in-person, virtual instructor-led, or e-learning) matches what eTRIS records for that programme.
• The course fees fall within HRD Corp’s current Allowable Cost Matrix limits.
