Finally, after 16 days into MCO 3.0, Malaysian government announced a Total Lockdown from 1-14 June amid COVID-19 surge (country logged an all-time record of 8,290 Covid-19 cases). Personally, I forsee that it would be extended till end of June 2021, what do you think?
Will not go into the details of the total lockdown as you can read it in many news portals.
Let’s explore on what types of online course(s) and workshop(s) within the Malaysian Skills Certification System that you can consider during this one month period. Upskill yourself, equip yourself with more relevant certifications that will definitley help you in your career or business.
The online course(s) are mainly for one to three days, with some up to a year. Those that take longer period is due to the nature of the program, need interval in between and the final outcome is a Malaysian Skills Certificate or Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM), a nationally & internationally recognised skills certificate.
