Wawasan Open University (WOU) in Penang offers MQA-accredited programmes you can take online, full time or part time. With Jagaman, workers get a clear path from site skills to recognised qualifications.
WOU states that all its programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
Most programmes run online, full time or part time, so you can keep working.
WOU Academy training and microcredentials can be claimed through HRD Corp by eligible employers.
APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) lets experienced workers turn what they already know into credit exemptions. It is the fastest route to a recognised qualification for skilled people without paper.
These WOU programmes match the jobs our workers grow into. Entry requirements, fees and APEL eligibility are set by WOU.
