Description

Engineering training program sponsored by JPA (Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam) and Mara (Majlis Amanah Rakyat).

After completion of their SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia), students follow a 13-months pre-university course in Malaysia (French and scientific classes) and spend 4 months in a French host family in order to improve their French. Then they integrate a French university in a DUT (University Technology Degree) program. Divided into groups according to their specializations, students are tutored during their first year in the DUT before they join the regular classes with French students for the 2nd year. Once they achieve their DUT, students can futher their studies in an engineering school.
