A simple guide for employers — brought to you by NextGen Pilot Sdn Bhd, a registered HRD Corp Training Provider.
For eligible employers, HRD Corp levy can be used to support approved employee training and workforce development programs, subject to program eligibility, available levy, grant approval, and prevailing HRD Corp requirements.
From selecting a program to completing training, here is the end-to-end HRD Corp levy process in six steps.
Select a NextGen Pilot program or discuss a customized in-house option with our team.
NextGen Pilot provides the course outline, training schedule, quotation, trainer profile, and other supporting documents.
Your organization submits the grant application through HRD Corp's e-TRiS platform before training begins.
Training proceeds only after grant approval and the applicable HRD Corp waiting period has been observed.
NextGen Pilot conducts the approved program. Attendance records are maintained as part of the claim process.
NextGen Pilot submits the training-provider claim. Your organization may submit claims for other eligible approved costs.
Training should only commence after the grant has been approved and the applicable HRD Corp waiting period has been observed. Approved training must also commence within the period specified by HRD Corp.
Training may commence 14 days after grant approval — applicable at all times.
During this period, training may commence 3 days after grant approval under the current 2026 requirement.
Public training is expected to return to the 14-day post-approval waiting period from 1 January 2027.
Understanding the division of responsibilities helps ensure a smooth grant application and claim process.
NextGen Pilot offers flexible delivery formats and program structures to suit your organization's needs and workforce size.
Customized programs delivered at your premises. NextGen Pilot can adapt learning objectives, content, industry examples, case studies, role-plays, assessments, duration, and delivery format. Ideal for larger groups or specific capability gaps.
Scheduled programs open to individual participants or smaller groups. Suitable for individual professional development, specialist training, professional certification, and cross-industry learning.
Delivery may include virtual instructor-led training, e-learning, hybrid, blended learning, AI-enabled practice and assessment, and VR-enabled learning — depending on the program and HRD Corp requirements.
Under the HRD Corp Claimable Courses framework, approved course fees may be paid through HRD Corp. An optional upfront payment of up to 30% of the approved course fee is also available, subject to HRD Corp requirements and employer consent.
Yes to both. NextGen Pilot can customize eligible in-house programs based on your workforce needs and intended learning outcomes. In-house training can also be conducted at the client's premises where the venue is appropriate.
No. The employer submits its own grant application through e-TRiS. NextGen Pilot provides the relevant training-provider documents and program information required to support the application.
No. Grant approval remains subject to HRD Corp requirements, employer eligibility, available levy, program eligibility, and the information submitted in the application.
Contact NextGen Pilot before finalizing your training dates to allow sufficient time to identify the right program, customize the course if required, confirm trainer availability, prepare documentation, submit the grant application, and observe the applicable approval period.
Tell us your capability development goals, number of participants, preferred dates and delivery format, and whether you need an existing or customized program. Our team will recommend a suitable program and provide the relevant documentation to support your HRD Corp grant application.
