What is HRDF Claimable Training?
HRD Corp claimable training (formerly SBL-Khas, under HRDF) lets registered Malaysian employers use their mandatory human resources levy to fund staff upskilling, typically with no additional out-of-pocket cost, subject to grant approval and submission through the official e-TRiS portal. Through our HRD Corp registered training partner Payboy Sdn. Bhd., HighSpark’s specialised programmes in presentation skills, business storytelling and leadership communication include three approved claimable courses under the HRD Corp Claimable Courses scheme, with nine more completing registration.
Check If Your Company Can Claim
Most levy-registered Malaysian employers can claim HighSpark training through HRD Corp.

Powerful Delivery
Command the room the moment you stand up. This programme rebuilds how your people show up when it counts: voice, presence, pacing and body language, so nervous presenters become confident, credible communicators. Ideal for teams who know their content but lose the audience in the delivery, turning routine updates into moments that genuinely persuade.

Effective Technical Presentation
Help technical experts translate complexity into clarity for non-technical stakeholders. Engineers, analysts and specialists learn to structure dense material, cut the jargon and present findings so leadership actually understands and buys in, turning deep expertise into decisions, budget and momentum instead of slides no one follows.

Visual Persuasion
Design slides that argue for you. Your team learns the visual principles behind persuasive decks: hierarchy, contrast, focus and restraint, so every slide carries one clear idea instead of a wall of text. The result is presentations that look considered, feel effortless to follow and quietly build the case for your recommendation.

Data Storytelling
Transform complex data into insightful stories that drive decisions and win buy-in. Analysts and business teams learn to find the narrative inside the numbers, choose the one insight that matters and present it so stakeholders act, turning dashboards and reports into a clear, confident recommendation leaders can get behind.

Data Visualisation
Make your charts do the thinking for your audience. Your team learns to choose the right chart, strip the clutter and design visuals that reveal the insight at a glance rather than burying it. Reports become decision tools, clearer, faster to read and far harder for stakeholders to misread or ignore.

Professional Presence
Build the executive presence that makes people listen before you've finished your first sentence. Your team learns to project credibility, composure and warmth in meetings, pitches and difficult conversations, showing up with the gravitas that earns trust, influences senior stakeholders and opens doors that competence alone often can't.

Effective Technical Communication
Turn technical accuracy into everyday clarity. Specialists learn to explain complex systems, findings and trade-offs in plain language across emails, documents and meetings, so cross-functional teams stay aligned, decisions move faster and expertise stops getting lost in translation between the people who build and the people who decide.

Elevator Pitch
Master the 60-second window that opens the door. Your team learns to distil what they do into a sharp, memorable pitch that sparks the right follow-up question, whether meeting an investor, a prospect or a senior leader in a lift. Concise, confident and impossible to forget.

Creative Negotiation
Negotiate for outcomes, not just concessions. Your team learns to uncover what the other side truly wants, expand the deal before dividing it and hold their position without damaging the relationship, walking out of high-stakes conversations with better terms and a partner who still wants to work with them.

Power Presentation with AI
AI training that future-proofs how your team creates and delivers presentations. Your people learn to use generative-AI tools to draft, structure and refine decks in a fraction of the time, then bring human judgement and storytelling to make the message land. Faster preparation, sharper output, and a real edge.

Problem Solving
Equip your team to break down messy, ambiguous problems and communicate the way forward with confidence. They learn a structured approach to frame the real issue, generate options and pressure-test thinking, then present a clear, defensible recommendation that gets stakeholders aligned and moving instead of stuck in analysis.
