HRD Corp SBL-Khas: How Employers Actually Fund Robotics Training

HRD Corp . 10 July 2026

If your company pays the HRD Corp levy, you can put it to work on real robotics training, often with nothing out of pocket. Here is how our clients do it.

Most HR managers we talk to already know they pay the HRD Corp levy every month. What surprises them is how little of it they claim back. If your company contributes to HRD Corp, you can use that money to train your team on real robots and PLC systems, often with nothing out of pocket.

Here is how it works in plain terms, based on what our clients do every intake.

What SBL-Khas actually is

SBL-Khas is the scheme that lets a registered employer apply for training funds before a course runs. HRD Corp pays the training provider directly once the claim is approved, so your cash flow is not tied up. Our centre is a registered provider, serial number 202501044803, so our courses qualify.

The steps, start to finish

  • Pick the course and dates with us. We send you a quotation and the course content.
  • Log in to your HRD Corp employer portal and submit a grant application under SBL-Khas before the course starts.
  • Attach our quotation, trainer profile and course outline. We provide all of these.
  • Once the grant is approved, your team attends. We handle attendance records and the post-training report.
  • HRD Corp reimburses the approved amount. For most of our clients that covers the full course fee.

A few things that trip people up

Apply early. Grant approval takes a few working days, so do not wait until the week before. Keep your levy account in good standing. And make sure the staff you are sending are Malaysian employees on your payroll, since that is who the levy is meant for.

If you are not sure whether your company is registered or how much levy you have sitting there, send us your details and we will point you to the right person at HRD Corp. It is usually simpler than people expect.
