An array of training courses for different levels and
career guidance are offered to all employees of
the Group through our dedicated training unit, the
Gamuda learning Centre (GlC).
in operation since 1995, GlC has since invested
over RM15 million in staff training having
concluded more than 1,700 training sessions for
over 15,000 participants. These training sessions

Gamuda Quantity Surveyor (QS)
Apprenticeship Programme
Recognising that the Group’s business involves
engineering and construction, Gamuda initiated the
Quantity surveyor (Qs) Training and Apprenticeship
Programme as part of its skills development
initiative in 1996.
To-date, over 100 Qs trainees from six batches
between 1996 and 2006 have graduated from this
programme. including the current 7
th
Qs intake in
2009, the overall commitment to this programme
will reach RM12 million.
Taking the Qs Apprenticeship Programme to greater
heights, we collaborated with Tunku Abdul Rahman
(TAR) College in 2009 to advance the programme
to a four-year diploma course. The course will be
equivalent to the academic rigour of the first year
of a Bachelor’s degree, and will be a stepping
stone for trainees who wish to pursue an Advanced
Diploma or Bachelor’s (honours) degree from any
local or private university.
