Why Our Certification Courses May Not Be 100% Claimable Under HRD Corp

Our programmes are certification-based and industry-recognised, and participants will receive certification issued by BCM Institute upon successful completion. However, the certification is issued directly by BCM Institute and is not awarded by an external or independent certification body.

Under the funding guidelines of HRD Corp, programmes that are eligible for 100% funding as Professional Certification must typically be supported by documentation from a recognised external certification body.  As our certification is issued by the BCM Institute itself, it may not meet the specific criteria required by HRD Corp for classification as a fully funded Professional Certification.

Therefore, the final claimable amount will depend on HRD Corp’s review and approval of each application.
