Here are some advantages of studying a Certificate course in Malaysia

Low Entry Requirement- If you are disappointed by your SPM results and you feel there are no hopes left then you should worry no more as the Certificate course only demands 1 credit in SPM.

Foundation for higher education- The foundations of the subjects are laid by the certificate course which you will go through in your diploma and degree course after you complete your SPM. But you will have to make sure that you are well versed with the niches of the industry you are planning to do your further studies in. 

Studying Industry Specific Skills- While you do this Certificate course, you will gain basic knowledge and technicalities for the industry you chose to proceed with your studies in. Specifically for those who want to study specific skills with a hands-on approach, like the course for Automotive Technology and Hotel Management Operations.
