HRDF / HRD Corp ClaimableCybersecurity Training
All nCrypt training courses are eligible for HRD Corp levy claims by Malaysian-registered employers. Upskill your team with zero net cost when claimable.
What is HRD Corp claimable training?
HRD Corp — formerly known as the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) — is a Malaysian statutory body established under the Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad Act 2001. Its mandate is to drive continuous workforce upskilling across the private sector.
Employers registered under the Act contribute a monthly levy of 1% of payroll (for companies with 10 or more Malaysian employees; rates vary by sector and employee count). This levy accumulates in the employer's HRD Corp account and can be drawn down to reimburse approved employee training costs — effectively making qualifying training free or heavily subsidised for the employer.
nCrypt's courses are submitted to HRD Corp under the Skills Area of "Information & Communication Technology" → "Cybersecurity". When a grant is approved, employers recover the full course fee (subject to levy balance and scheme conditions) after training is completed and the claim is submitted via the Employer e-TRiS portal.
For HR and finance teams, the practical outcome is straightforward: send staff to a certified cybersecurity course, submit the paperwork, and receive a reimbursement into the levy account. Your team gains industry-recognised credentials; your company's out-of-pocket cost is zero when the levy covers it.

HRD Corp grant — common employer questions
Questions from HR, L&D, and finance teams about claiming nCrypt training through HRD Corp.
Is nCrypt an HRD Corp registered training provider?
Yes — nCrypt is an HRD Corp registered training provider. Our certification number is available on request. All courses listed on this page have been submitted under the Skills Area of "Information & Communication Technology" → "Cybersecurity" for SBL-Khas eligibility.
Which HRD Corp scheme codes apply to nCrypt courses?
nCrypt courses are typically submitted under the SBL-Khas (Skim Bantuan Latihan Khas) scheme, which is suitable for instructor-led training delivered in-person or virtually. Specific scheme code eligibility depends on your employer's current levy status and any HRD Corp programme conditions at the time of application. We confirm the applicable code when issuing your quotation.
What is the typical grant approval timeline?
HRD Corp typically takes between 5 and 10 working days to process a grant application submitted via the e-TRiS portal. We recommend submitting at least 10 working days before the training start date to allow buffer for any clarification requests from HRD Corp.
Can we use the Future Workers fund for nCrypt courses?
Yes, the Future Workers Development Programme (FWDP) may be applicable for eligible new hires or fresh graduates. Eligibility criteria and fund availability can change; we recommend speaking directly with your HRD Corp account officer to confirm before applying.
What if our levy balance is not enough to cover the full course fee?
If your approved HRD Corp grant covers part of the course fee, the shortfall is invoiced directly to the employer at the standard corporate rate. nCrypt does not gate enrolment or seat allocation based on levy balance — contact us and we will structure the invoicing accordingly.
Do you help with the grant application paperwork?
Yes — nCrypt provides pre-filled grant application templates, supporting documents (course outline, trainer profile, financial quotation in HRD Corp format), and post-training claim documentation including attendance sheets and certificates of completion. We have done this many times and will guide your HR team through each step.
