Your team gets trained, the HRD Corp claim is ours

Why OCTIS

A trainer matched to your topic

We match on topic, industry, team level and format, from trainers with Malaysian SME and MNC backgrounds. You do not search, shortlist or brief anyone yourself.

Ready-built courses, register and go

Pick a fixed-date course from the open enrolment catalogue and register your staff. No planning needed, just enrol and attend.

The claim paperwork is ours

Most rejected claims fail on documentation. We prepare the submission, send it to HRD Corp and follow up, so your team only has to attend.

Attendance and certificates on file

Every attendee is tracked, certificates are issued on completion and the records are filed, ready for an audit or HRD Corp verification at any time.

In-house, on a date that suits you

You choose the topic and the date. We build the programme and run it for your team alone, so nobody trains around other companies' calendars.

A plan that fits everyone

Companies paying the levy and not using it

With 10 or more Malaysian employees, the levy leaves your account every month whether anyone is trained or not. We plan the training that puts it to use.

Owners who want one partner for all training

In-house for the whole team, an open course for one person. You deal with one contact, not a separate vendor for each.

HRD CORP IN MALAYSIA

What HRD Corp asks of you, and what we do about it

1The levy starts at 10 Malaysian employees

Companies with 10 or more Malaysian employees, in most industries, pay a monthly training levy. It is paid by the employer, and employees are never charged for it.

2You must be registered and current to claim

Your company has to be registered with HRD Corp and up to date on its levy payments before any claim goes through.

3A cap on what HRD Corp pays

HRD Corp pays up to a set limit per person, per day. Anything above it is yours, so we tell you where the limit sits before you sign.

4Unclaimed levy does not wait

Unclaimed levy does not roll forward indefinitely. Training you run with us is how the balance gets used.

5Claims fail on documentation

Most rejected claims fail on paperwork, not on eligibility. We prepare the submission and follow it up with HRD Corp.

FAQ

What is HRD Corp, and who can claim?

HRD Corp (formerly HRDF) is Malaysia's Human Resources Development Corporation. Companies with 10 or more Malaysian employees, in most industries, pay a monthly training levy and can claim it back for approved training. To claim, the company must be registered with HRD Corp and current on its levy payments. We help you claim what you are already entitled to.

How do I know whether I have a levy balance?

If you employ 10 or more Malaysian staff, the levy has been going to HRD Corp every month, whether or not anyone has been trained. It sits in an account under your company's name. Message us and we tell you where it stands before you decide anything.

What is the difference between in-house and open enrolment?

In-house training is designed and delivered only for your company: you choose the topic, we build and run it for your team on a date that suits you. Open enrolment courses are ready-built, fixed-date programmes that individual staff register into alongside people from other companies. Both are HRD Corp claimable.

Why do HRD Corp claims get rejected?

Most rejected claims fail on documentation, not on eligibility. That is why the paperwork is the part we take over: we prepare it, submit it and follow up with HRD Corp.

What if a course costs more than HRD Corp will pay?

HRD Corp caps what it pays per person, per day, and anything above that line is yours. We tell you where the line sits before you sign, not after the invoice arrives.

Can team building be claimed from HRD Corp?

Yes, when it is structured correctly. We design team building programmes, with the activities, facilitated learning sessions and hospitality, to meet HRD Corp programme requirements.

How do you choose a trainer from your 500+ network?

We match on your topic, industry, team level and format. Our trainers come from Malaysian SMEs and MNCs, so whether you need a practical operations trainer or a senior leadership facilitator, we find the fit.

Does an unused levy balance expire?

Unclaimed levy does not roll forward indefinitely. Ask us about your specific balance and you get a clear answer on where it stands before you decide anything.
