certificates for course participants.

indoor classrooms, on-site tunnel boring machine
cutter wheel, shotcrete mould, testing unit for
annular gap filling (grouting), testing unit for
foam production, laboratory apparatus, as well
as equipment and devices for tunnelling data
acquisition and analysis, and erector simulator for

Construction Training Centre (CTC)
Working in tandem with the CiDB and
Institut-
Institut Latihan Kemahiran
, CTC serves as a
valuable training ground for young Malaysians
who are keen to launch a career in the challenging
construction industry. Due to the innovative
nature of the large-scale infrastructure projects
and the state-of-the-art technologies employed
by the Group, having our own training centre
enables us to prepare our staff, sub-contractors
and other interested industry players, with the
technical know-how needed to undertake their
work efficiently and safely.
TTA, the world’s first tunnelling school, aims to nurture a
sustainable pool of skilled tunnelling workforce to cater to the
manpower needs of the massive KVMRT project
The first batch of graduates celebrated their
graduation ceremony in July 2011. The next stage
of the CTC programme will be to expand the current
courses of formwork, concreting and bar-bending
to include bricklaying, plastering and tiling, all of
which are critical skills necessary in the quality
completion of all construction projects.
in total, the CTC and TTA combined will be able to
provide up to 4,000 training places per year.
