CAAM Registered As HRD Corp Training Provider, Expanding Access To Aviation Training
PUTRAJAYA, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), through its training arm, the Malaysia Aviation Academy (MAvA), is now a HRD Corp Registered Training Provider, enabling eligible aviation employers to access levy-supported training.
CAAM chairman Datuk Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi officiated the launch at the Malaysia Aviation Academy in Sepang, Selangor, as the registration advances CAAM’s mandate under the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia Act 2017 (Act 788) to develop civil aviation capabilities and promote education and training.
CAAM said this initiative broadens access to industry-relevant training and provides aviation employers of all sizes with an additional avenue to strengthen workforce capabilities and invest in long-term talent development.
Eligible employers across aviation subsectors, including airport management, airline commercial operations, ground handling, air navigation services, and flight and ground operations, may utilise their HRD Corp levy to support employee participation in qualifying CAAM programmes, subject to applicable requirements.
“It gives more aviation employers a way to draw on CAAM’s expertise and help their teams apply aviation standards in day-to-day operations,” it said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Shahril said CAAM, through MAvA, would continue to engage employers on the skills their teams need as aviation operations evolve, including in areas such as digital systems and emerging aviation technologies.
“Safety standards make a difference when people know how to apply them under pressure. At MAvA, we want more employers to give their teams the opportunity to practise those decisions, whether it is raising a safety concern, responding fairly when something goes wrong or learning from an incident.
“CAAM will deliver this training separately from its oversight functions, and every regulatory decision will continue to be made independently and on its merits,” he said.
CAAM encourages eligible employers to consider qualifying programmes in their staff development plans and share their training needs with the Academy.
