HRDC-claimable training: what Malaysian companies need to know

HOREN Team · 28 July 2026

HRD Corp (formerly HRDF) levies apply to most Malaysian private sector employers. The funds can be reclaimed through approved training — but many organisations either don't claim or find the process confusing.

The SBL-Khas scheme explained

SBL-Khas (Skim Bantuan Latihan Khas) is the most flexible HRD Corp claim scheme. Employers can claim up to 100% of training fees for approved programmes delivered by registered providers.

HOREN is a registered HRD Corp training provider. All our core IT and soft skills programmes qualify.

How the claims process works

1. Submit training application to HRD Corp before training begins

2. Attend training and collect attendance records

3. Submit claim with invoice and documentation within 30 days

We handle steps 1 and 3 for our corporate clients. Your team attends training — we manage the paperwork.

Common questions

Who pays upfront? Your company pays HOREN, then claims reimbursement from HRD Corp.

How long does reimbursement take? Typically 2–6 weeks after claim submission.

Is there a levy balance minimum? Claims cannot exceed your company's levy balance. We can help you check before committing.
