Funding · HRD Corp
Turn your HRD Corp levy into AI capability.
If you pay the levy, you may already be funding AI training you’re not using, often at little to no net cost for eligible employers. Here’s exactly how HRDC-claimable AI training works, and what we handle for you.
Check your eligibility
Training is claimable under HRD Corp (SBL / SBL-Khas). In short
Is AI training HRDC claimable in Malaysia?
Yes. AI training is HRD Corp (HRDF) claimable in Malaysia under the SBL and SBL-Khas schemes, as long as your company is a registered levy-paying employer and the programme meets HRD Corp’s requirements. GrowthPro Asia’s AI training is structured to be claimable, and we prepare the grant and keep it audit-ready for you.
Over half of Malaysian employers leave levy funds unclaimed. That’s budget you’ve already paid, sitting unused while your competitors upskill on it. With 89% of employers prioritising AI-skilled talent and 81% unable to find it (AWS / Access Partnership, 2024), AI training is one of the most valuable ways to put your levy to work.

HRDC-claimable AI training: FAQ

How do I claim HRD Corp for AI training, step by step?

GrowthPro Asia prepares the application and keeps the evidence audit-ready throughout.
What is the difference between SBL and SBL-Khas?
Both are HRD Corp schemes for employer-led training. SBL (Skim Bantuan Latihan) reimburses you after you pay the provider; SBL-Khas lets HRD Corp pay the registered provider more directly, easing cash flow. We advise which fits your situation when we scope the programme.
How much of the AI training cost can be claimed?
The claimable amount depends on your available levy balance and HRD Corp’s allowable cost matrix at the time of training. Many eligible employers fund AI training largely or entirely from their existing levy. We size this with you before you commit.
