How to claim HRD Corp claimable courses

Who pays the levy

• Employers with 10 or more Malaysian employees must register with HRD Corp and pay a levy of 1% of monthly wages (basic salary plus fixed allowances).
• Employers with 5 to 9 Malaysian employees may register voluntarily, at a 0.5% levy.
• The levy cannot be deducted from employees' wages.

The Claimable Courses scheme

HRD Corp Claimable Courses (Skim Bantuan Latihan Khas, previously known as SBL-KHAS) covers courses from registered training providers. Under this scheme the employer does not pay the course fee to the training provider; the provider claims the course fee from HRD Corp. Courses must be at least four hours long.

Other situations, such as training by your own internal trainers, use the separate Skim Bantuan Latihan (SBL) scheme.

Step by step

• Apply for the grant in HRD Corp's e-TRiS system before the training starts, with the provider's quotation or invoice, the training schedule or course content, and the trainer profile.
• Wait for grant approval. From 15 June to 31 December 2026, public courses can start 3 days after approval and in-house courses 14 days after approval. From 1 January 2027 the 14-day rule applies again.
• The training must start within 90 calendar days of that advance-approval period.
• After the training, submit the claim in e-TRiS within six months of the completion date.

Before you book

Employers with outstanding levy or interest are not eligible to apply. Check that the course is offered under the Claimable Courses scheme and leave enough time for approval before the start date.
