PUTRAJAYA, April 19 (Bernama) -- A total of 193 Malaysian Vocational Diploma (DVM) programmes received an extension of full accreditation from the Malaysian Board of Technologists (MBOT).
The diploma programmes offered by vocational colleges cover 10 fields including Agro Mechanisation Technology, Automotive Technology, Database Management System and Web Application Technology as well as 3D Animation.
MBOT in a statement today said the extension of full accreditation was applied for by a study centre that was previously not given the maximum period of programme offerings because there were several related conditions that could not be met.
"However, they have succeeded in improving some criteria as set by MBOT and were given an extension of the accreditation period.
"As a result of the evaluation by the MBOT expert panel, the vocational colleges have been given an extension of up to a maximum period of six years," it said.
MBOT said the accreditation of Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes including in vocational colleges is one of the important aspects to ensure the quality assurance of the programmes offered with the accreditation evaluation process carried out based on the policy set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
"This extension proves that the standard and quality of programmes offered by vocational colleges are at a high level," it said.
