The training schedule will be supported by an efficient IT administration system which encompasses a multi-channel enquiry system, mobile app registration and advanced computer lab locations with localised IT centres.
It will also include “Mobile Training Centres” throughout Sabah and online class options with e-certification, which enables the training to be delivered and completed more conveniently.
