HR ministry proposes SPKM as single TVET certification

PUTRAJAYA: The Human Resources Ministry has proposed that the Malaysian Skills Certification System (SPKM) be used as the country's single certification for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Minister V. Sivakumar said the move was necessary due to confusion in the implementation of TVET in Malaysia, which was caused by the existence of various TVET certifications accredited by two regulatory agencies, namely the Department of Skills Development (JPK) and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
