Introduction
SERBA DINAMIK SDN BHD (SDSB) is a company dedicated in designing and conducting quality training and consultancy packages for its potential clients.
SDSB combines a pool of Malaysian Consultants with local and international experience in their respective specialised field. We believe that effective training and consultancy programmes have to be designed base on actual real field experience or real life experience with reference to recognise international standards.
SDSB has over the years conducted numerous public courses all around in Malaysia and has also conducted in-house tailored courses for PETRONAS OPUs namely for Petronas Gas Berhad, Vinyl Chloride Malaysia , MTBE, PMLSB, PPMSB, PFKSB, ABF Sdn. Bhd and those from Chemical and Power Plants.
Why This kind of Approach is Preferred?
Industrial training in Malaysia has been constantly under review since the presence of Oil & Gas, Chemical and Power Plants. However, there is no specific training provider providing comprehensive training in all the relevant fields. Industrial training in Malaysia normally occurs in bit and pieces and when needs warrant. Industry may allocate a separate dedicated training time for Health Safety and Environment (HSE), Operational tasks, Rotating Equipment (RE), process controls, and other practical or machinery operating theories.
Rotating machinery is employed today in a wide variety of industrial applications. This proposed training with specialization in Rotating Machinery Engineering and Maintenance Management emphasizes on subjects of particular interest to major user in oil and gas, power and process industries; to include topics such as prime movers and motor driven equipment, selection, project planning, commissioning, operations and management of power system as a comprehensive knowledge required training in the industries today. The proposed training is of “true” relevance to those involved in these industries.
After years of observations and after achieving comfortable confidence from our clients, we feel that our proposed initiative containing the “CUSTOMISED” “and specially tailored” syllabus should be well accepted as our objective is to generate competent resources or “ready to be used resources to industries.
Well verse on HSE is an integral part of condition that qualified employees to work in these fields. Therefore, a thorough HSE subjects will be part of the syllabus during the course of training. Student may have opportunity to enhance their HSE qualification by taking specific examination on HSE that will come handy to their trade skill.
Training Objectives
The primary objective is to help and accelerate the process of developing the professional and individual to be certified competent specialist and recognized locally and internationally. Those graduated from this specialise training be employed and accepted by maintenance service provider & relevant industry, thus will benefit the nation as a whole.
Training Philosophy
With the continuing expansion of the application of rotating machinery, qualified and competent personnel (specialist) are required by the increasing large numbers of users. This training is an important and viable approach in the formation of specialists for these industries.
An insight into the varied aspects of machinery maintenance and operation will be benefitted from experienced members of staff and other groups who have a wide experience in the field. Close management collaboration and rapport with the industries and other research and academic establishments (USM, UM etc) ensures that this training maintain its relevance in the constantly evolving industrial requirements and thus ensure as the choiced resource to these establishment (Oil and Gas, chemical and Power Plants etc)
Integrating Occupational Safety and Health Into This Program
The topics (6 broad topics) below will be incorporated into this program and the proficiency on these topics is a mandatory requirement in order to attain full certification & competence:
HSE MANAGEMENTS.

Target Group
There are three identified groups that we have concluded to be the main appropriate attendee for this vocational program.
- Graduated Engineers ( with qualification but without field experience)
- Skilled workers in specific field (without engineering qualification with experience)
- SPM school leavers, Vocational and Polytechnic School Leavers
As the majority of our employees and specialists came from Oil and Gas companies, we have identified the actual needs in these industries that enable us to formulate the necessary syllabus for the training modules. Definitely this ensure the training proposal will enhance the competencies of those graduated from the course and beneficiate the industry too.
The collaborations with City & Guilds ensure student can be awarded with a recognized International certification, and later he/she can pursue to sit for City & Guilds International Vocational Diploma (IVQ) in Oil and Gas by Assessment process.
Beside the benefit of HSE, presently there is no training providers; universities or other industrial institution that adopt outreach learning program twinning with any recognized international body such as this program.
The Specialist Training Program
This Specialist Training Program is divided into two entries category
- Package for Technical Graduates who are without Experience
Certified Competent Rotating Equipment Specialist
Certified Boiler /Steam Engineer (future)
Certified Project Manager and Planner (future)
- Proposed Competency package for non-graduates
Certified Competence Maintenance Specialist (RE)
Certified Competence Maintenance Specialist (Static) – future
The training involves a 9-11 months (estimated) training contract with SDSB. During the training all trainees must complete logbooks relevant to the relevant practice areas they are exposed to. The logbooks detail a range of aspects of individual practice areas relevant to the work of a trainee. There is no requirement for a trainee to ‘tick off’ each and every area. Rather, they are intended as a tool to be used by trainers in discussing progress with trainees to identify where a trainee is lacking experience and to plan the next quarter’s work for the trainee. These planning sessions take place at quarterly meetings, where the trainer and trainee are required to discuss the trainee’s work, review performance and set objectives. This is designed to be a quarterly ‘mini appraisal’. Arising from this meeting, trainer and trainee complete a quarterly performance review which is forwarded to the SDSB for monitoring.
