FMM Institute's Training Schemes

FMM Institute is a registered training provider with Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad (PSMB) and it ensures that all its programmes comply with the requirements of the Human Resource Development Fund (HRDF) to be eligible for training grants under HRDF. Employers who are registered with PSMB are eligible for training grants through the various schemes available under the HRDF. The schemes are as follows:

Employers can claim for reimbursement from HRDF upon completion of programme. However, approval from PSMB is required prior to commencement of programme by completing Form PSMB/SBL/1/01. Training grants can be considered for all types of training programmes (both in-house and external) for the retraining and skills upgrading of employees relevant to the needs of employers.

Employers can claim for reimbursement without the need to apply for prior approval. It is only for training programmes with Approved Training Programme (ATP) status.

FMM Institute will claim the entire amount directly from the employers' account with HRDF. No prior approval is needed under this scheme. However, employer must submit Form PSMB/PER/T2/06 to FMM Institute before the commencement of programme. It is only for training programmes with Approved Training Programme (ATP) status.

Similar to the PERLA scheme but approval from PSMB is required prior to commencement of programme by completing Form PSMB/SBL/1/01 and PSMB/SBL-KHAS/T1/01. Employers must submit Form PSMB/SBL-KHAS/T2/01 to FMM Institute prior to the commencement of programme.

The rate of financial assistance for training programmes which were conducted locally (within Malaysia) was increased from 85% to 100% as from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2002. To encourage employers to be more active in providing training and skills enhancement to their employees, the period for 100% training grant was further extended and will expire on October 31, 2008.
