Certification System

This is the last part of the series earlier. Should you need more information, kindly email to smartedu@streamyx.com on various training providers & courses or any related matter to skill training & certfication in Malaysia.

On completion of the training course, the trainees at vocational training centers were required to take the national trade skill test for certification since 1973. Today, they are expected to obtain the Malaysia Skill Certification (MSC) under the national skill certification system. Trainees are awarded the MSC upon completion of the training course that complies with the National Occupational Skill Standards (NOSS). The National Vocational Training Council (NVTC) evaluates and approves training programs developed on the basis of NOSS. Training centers become an accredited center upon approval. There are five skill levels, L1 (semiskilled level), L2 (skilled level), L3 (advanced skill level), L4 (advanced skill/supervisor level), and L5 (advanced skill/manager level). MSC is obtainable through (i) completing an accredited program at an accredited training center, (ii) acquiring credits required for certification, or (iii) obtaining recognition of actual work performance.
