Microsoft Training Sarawak (2026): In-House Excel, Power BI & Copilot in Kuching and Miri

On-site Microsoft training for companies, GLCs and agencies in Kuching, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu. We bring the trainer to you — your team does not fly to Kuala Lumpur.

Quick Answer

Yes, Microsoft Excel, Power BI and Microsoft 365 Copilot training can run in-house in Kuching and across Sarawak. Tell us the topic and group size and we arrange the trainer. For HRD Corp-registered employers it is HRDF claimable for 2–50 pax, up to RM10,500/day/group for a full day per group. Government agencies pay from their department training allocation instead.

Why In-House Microsoft Training in Sarawak

The Government of Sarawak signed a partnership with Microsoft in June 2022 to digitalise its public sector and build digital skills. Organisations that have moved onto Microsoft 365 now need their people to actually use it well: Excel for reporting, Power BI for dashboards, and Copilot for everyday drafting and analysis.

The trainer's travel is claimable too. HRD Corp's Allowable Cost Matrix lets employers claim airfare at the actual rate for external trainers from other towns, plus a trainer allowance at the trainee rate — up to RM500/pax/day for 100km or more, which any flight between the Peninsula and Sarawak clears. Both are claimed separately from the course fee, so ask for trainer fees, airfare and allowance to be itemised on the quote; your e-TRiS application needs that split.

We source the trainer

We match a Microsoft trainer for the topic and level, and confirm whether the session needs to be HRDF claimable.

The course outline is adjusted to your own files, reports and systems before the date is fixed.

Training on-site

The session runs at your premises or a venue in Kuching. Your team stays at work; only the trainer travels.

Microsoft Training Sarawak — FAQs

Can you run Microsoft Excel or Copilot training on-site in Kuching?

Yes. Tell us your topic, group size and preferred dates, and we arrange a trainer to deliver the session at your premises or a venue in Kuching. The same applies to Miri, Sibu and Bintulu. Because the session is in-house, the content is built around your own files, reports and workflows.

Is Microsoft training for government agencies HRDF claimable?

No. Civil servants in federal and state government agencies do not contribute the HRDF levy, so agency training is paid from the department's own training allocation rather than claimed from HRD Corp. Government-linked companies and private employers registered with HRD Corp are different: they can claim in-house Microsoft training through e-TRiS, up to RM10,500/day/group for a full-day in-house session. Statutory bodies vary, so check your organisation's levy status first.

How many participants do we need for in-house Microsoft training?

HRD Corp funds in-house training for 2–50 pax, for a minimum of four hours. The claimable course fee is capped per group, not per person, at RM10,500/day/group for a full day and RM6,000/half-day/group for a half day, so a full room makes the budget go furthest.

Which Microsoft courses are most requested in Sarawak?

Among the Microsoft enquiries we receive from Sarawak, Microsoft Excel (basic to advanced) and Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI for the public sector come up most. Power BI and Power Automate build naturally on an Excel foundation, so they are the usual next step.

Can the training be conducted in Bahasa Melayu?

Yes. Mention it when you request a quote so the trainer is matched for Bahasa Melayu delivery. The software menus stay in English, so the usual arrangement is Bahasa Melayu explanation over English screens.
