Short Courses in Miri Community College

Earlier in the morning, I went to the Miri Community College which is situated at Permyjaya, Miri. The college isn't that big but the design of the building itself is very beautiful but inside, it is quite spacious and well designed. Seems professional indeed! The security there is very simple but nonetheless quite secured than I ever imagined when I first step foot on the doors of the college.

Before this, I've been been hearing a lot about Miri Community College, or Community College as a whole, was being set up at a national level as to provide quality education to the public at a cheap price! But as we all know, since this is a move by our government with it's great offer, it does come with some drawbacks. Nevertheless it's worthwhile our money for a great experience and some extra knowledge that will guide us in our efforts to provide not only food on the table but much more.

Enough of the introduction already, let's get down to business. Below are the short courses being provided by Miri Community College:

1. Basic 3D Max
2. Basic Adobe Photoshop
3. Basic Flash animation
4. Basic AutoCAD
5. Basic hair styling
6. Basic glass painting
7. Basic dress sewing
8. Basic counselling
9. Basic handicraft (felt)
10. Basic handicraft (ribbon)
11. Basic Microsoft Office (Word/PowerPoint/Excel)
12. Basic individual development
13. Basic sketching
14. Basic smart solat (Muslim)
15. Basic tajwid (Muslim)
16. Basic Arabic
17. Biscuit, cake, cakoi, ham jing beng
18. Bread and bun
19. Glass painting
20. Bead sewing
21. East coast dishes
22. Stress management
23. ICT

... and many more courses offered at the discretion of the management. But one needs to note that these courses listed are SHORT COURSES and that not all of them are provided at a particular time. Based on my own observations and findings, they usually only provide classes on cooking, sewing and the likes. Rarely they provide technical classes probably due to lower demand compared to the said courses.

Besides the short courses provided, they also provide two certificate courses. They include Interior Design, and Industrial Maintenance.

Community colleges like these are great ways for youths to make full use of their time after they finished their PT3 or SPM. With the benefit of being reasonably priced tuition fees, it's one of the best initiatives by the government in producing better skilled workforce in the future as well as reducing crime. Besides we are getting closer to Wawasan 2020, therefore we need to make full use of the facility provided by the government to improve not only ourselves, but as well as the whole nation as a whole. Malaysia BOLEH!
