If you're a Malaysian employer, you've probably heard of the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRDC) levy. Each month, eligible companies contribute to this fund with the promise of gaining access to training grants designed to upskill and reskill employees.
But here's the surprising truth: many businesses don't claim their HRDC funds back. This means they're paying into the system but never reaping the benefits, effectively losing money while competitors invest in employee growth.
This guide walks you through the complete, step-by-step process of claiming your HRDC training funds, with P10X Academy's courses as a practical example.
Step 1: Confirm Your Company's HRDC Eligibility
Before you start claiming, you need to know if your company is eligible under HRDC. Eligibility depends on your industry sector, company size, and employee payroll contributions. Employers with 10 or more Malaysian employees are generally liable. Contributions are calculated based on a percentage of employees' monthly wages.
To check: log in to your company's eTRIS account, or contact HRD Corp directly at www.hrdcorp.gov.my.

Not all courses are eligible for claims. To qualify, training must be conducted by an HRDC-registered training provider offering approved programmes. P10X Academy's programmes are fully HRDC-approved, covering:
- Short upskilling courses: car detailing, wrapping, PPF, window tinting (3–10 days)
- Full auto aesthetics packages (20-day and 30-day)
- EV Tinted & PPF Specialist course
- Digital marketing (TikTok for business)
- Leadership and soft skills programmes
- e-Invoicing and business management
Step 3: Apply Through eTRIS Before Training Begins
With the training programme identified, the next step is applying through eTRIS (Electronic Training Information System), HRDC's official online portal. This is where employers submit training grant applications before training begins.
Critical rule: Your application must be submitted and approved before the first day of training. Late applications will be rejected. P10X Academy's team will prepare all required documentation and guide you through the eTRIS submission process.
Step 4: Attend the Training and Keep Records
Once your grant is approved, send your employees to training. During the programme, ensure you collect:
- Daily attendance records (signed)
- Training assessment results
- Invoice from P10X Academy
- Certificate of completion
P10X Academy provides all training documentation required for your HRDC claim submission.
Step 5: Submit Your Reimbursement Claim
After training is complete, return to eTRIS to submit your reimbursement claim. You will need to upload your supporting documents. P10X Academy will provide a complete documentation package to make this process as straightforward as possible.
Step 6: Receive Your Reimbursement
Once your claim is processed and approved by HRD Corp, reimbursement will be credited to your company's registered bank account. Processing typically takes 2–8 weeks after a complete submission.
