1992 #1 2008
ESTABLISHED PIONEER IN GERMAN TVET RELOCATED TO KAJANG
IN MALAYSIA

In 1992, German-Malaysian Institute (GMI), a hub for

advanced skills training was established. GMI
provides a comprehensive and well-balanced training
of practical and theoretical. The institute offers a
broad-based engineering education, with opportunities
for specialization and self-directed learning and
development.

GMI offers diverse training programmes and services

comprising full time diploma programmes, a
pre-university programme (A-Level), foundation, skills
upgrading technical courses, train-the-trainers
programmes, and industrial consultancy & services.

The birth of GMI was the outcome of a joint venture

between the Governments of Malaysia and Germany.
GMI is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors
comprising representatives from both governments,
plus public and industrial representatives. The
institution was set up as a Company Limited by Vision
Guarantee whereby the founders are Majlis Amanah
Rakyat (MARA) and the Malaysian German Chamber We are an internationally competitive learning
of Commerce and Industry (MGCC), and its organization delivering high quality technical
implementing agencies are MARA and Deutsche education, training and services; responsive to global
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) industry demands.
GmbH (formerly known as German Technical
Corporation or GTZ). GMI had its first student Mission
enrollment in 1992 and the growing number of
enrollment is prevalent. As a premier Malaysian learning organization that
provide technical education and training using blended
methodology for lifelong learning, customer oriented
services, high quality industrial solutions and
pre-university preparation studies.
