CAAM gains HRD Corp registration for aviation training
Eligible aviation employers may use their HRD Corp levy for qualifying CAAM programmes, subject to applicable requirements.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) has become an HRD Corp Registered Training Provider through the Malaysia Aviation Academy (MAvA), its training arm, opening a levy-supported route for eligible employers to train aviation staff.
CAAM said employers may draw on their HRD Corp levy for staff attending qualifying programmes, provided applicable requirements are met. The arrangement covers subsectors such as ground handling, airport management, air navigation services, airline commercial operations, and flight and ground operations.
The authority said the initiative gives aviation employers of all sizes another option for developing staff skills and supporting longer-term talent development. Its chairman launched the initiative at MAvA in Sepang, Selangor.
CAAM’s chairman said MAvA would maintain engagement with employers to understand changing skills needs, including those involving digital systems and emerging aviation technologies. He also highlighted practical training in raising safety concerns, handling errors fairly and learning from incidents.
He said training would remain separate from CAAM’s oversight responsibilities, with regulatory decisions continuing to be assessed independently on their merits.
