⚠ Mandatory Requirement — MPPHM (Domestic) 2020 & MHMS 2020

All companies with JAKIM Halal certification must ensure their Internal Halal Committee (IHC) members attend Halal Competency Training at least once every 3 years. This is a direct compliance requirement — failure to fulfil it risks non-conformance during JAKIM audits and potential suspension of your Halal certificate.

This Course is Specifically for Internal Halal Committee (IHC) Members

While Halal Awareness Training is for ALL staff, this Competency Training is designed exclusively for IHC members who are responsible for overseeing and maintaining the company's Halal Assurance System (HAS). If you are an IHC member, this training is mandatory for you.

About This Programme

The Halal Competency Training (HCT) goes beyond foundational awareness to equip your Internal Halal Committee with deep expertise in the Malaysia Halal compliance ecosystem. This HPB-accredited programme provides a comprehensive mastery of everything from Shariah principles to the practical implementation of a full Halal Assurance System (HAS).

This course is your strategic investment in building an internal team that doesn't just react to audits — but actively drives a culture of Halal excellence, protecting your certificate and the trust of your consumers. Upon completion, participants receive a recognised digital certificate of competency.
