SLDN - About
Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional/ Nasional Dual Training System
The government decided to implement NDTS starting from the year 2007. NDTS was introduced for the purpose of providing skilled manpower resources (e-workers) to the country, through a comprehensive training approach and using the latest available technology that meets the prevailing demands from industries.
NDTS is a training concept whereby the training is carried out at two sites, at the industry which may take up about 70% to 80% of the training duration, while the remaining 20% to 30% will be at the training institution. This method of approach will be decided concurrently between experts from the industry and the training institutions where they will both decide whether to adopt the day release method or the block release method.
In day release, the apprentice will undergo four to five days of training at the industry and followed by one to two days at the training institution per week. Whereas in the block release method, the apprentice will spend between four to five months at the industry and another one to two months of training at the training institution.
Duration of the training is for two years and is divided into four semesters.
