If an organization is sponsoring the applicant, they must indicate it on the registration form, and the invoice will be made attention to the company. The organization will be responsible for paying the full course fees even if the applicant leaves the company before or during the course. Booking is not confirmed if the payment is incomplete, or the registration form is not completed.

The relevant authority reserves the right to cancel, reschedule, or postpone the course if the speaker is unable to attend due to illness, accidents, emergency, or disruption due to forces of nature.

Consumption of Alcohol
Candidates who are below the legal drinking age are not allowed to sample any alcohol during any course(s). However, this is not a barrier for any candidate to attend and successfully complete some accredited programmes.
Candidates, for religious, health, or any other reason(s), who do not wish to sample any alcohol during the course, may do so.
Examination and Results (applicable to accredited programmes)
The examination date will be specific to the course for which the candidate has registered. Any request to change the examination date will incur a charge similar to an examination re-sit fee.
A candidate who does not attend the examination on the scheduled date will be deemed “Absent” with or without a valid reason (e.g. medical certificate). If the candidate requests another examination date, it will incur a charge similar to an examination re-sit fee.
A candidate may re-sit for an examination, subject to an examination re-sit fee, if he/she fails the first examination. A candidate who has passed the examination may not re-sit for an improved grade.
The re-sit fee is currently at MYR850 per level 2 examination and MYR1190 per level 3 examination per person.
The candidate must provide proof of identity, such as an identity card, driver’s license, or passport to the management, facilitator, and/or examiner on the day of the examination. The relevant authority may not allow the candidate to sit for the examination if he/she fails to do so.
The relevant authority will send an email to the candidate notifying that results are released. Under no circumstances will the results be communicated in other forms of communication.
Certificates and pins may be delivered upon request, subject to availability of relevant authority staff and the candidate.
