Schedule and attendance arrangements.
3 scheduled weekends across the programme
Each session runs 9am–6pm. Cohort 17 uses Saturday–Sunday; the remaining published cohorts use Friday–Saturday. 3 weekends during the six-month programme. Participants continue in their professional roles between sessions.
If you cannot attend a session
Contact the programme team before the session. ABC records the approved catch-up method in writing: video access or attendance in a named later cohort.
Fully online option
The International option delivers the same programme entirely online, so leaders outside Malaysia can join without travelling.
Discuss the calendar before you decide.
Tell the programme team which dates and language suit you. You can arrange a short call, an online information meeting or an in-person meeting at an agreed location without applying or paying.
Questions on dates first? WhatsApp +60 12-981 8533 or call the programme office.
Confirm the schedule and attendance requirements.
Tell the team the decision or business issue you are weighing, and choose a call, online meeting, in-person meeting or email. The programme team will answer questions about suitability, dates, fees, recognition and employer-led HRD Corp funding. An enquiry does not commit you to enrol or pay.
