As newly mandated under the Manual Procedure for Malaysian Halal Certification (MPPHM) 2020, all companies MUST conduct Halal Competency Training at least once every three years for their officially appointed Internal Halal Committee (IHC) members.
This course is distinct from Halal Awareness Training, which is mandatory for all processing staff to attend at least once every three years.
Meet the Mandate, Master Halal Competency
The landscape of Halal compliance in Malaysia has been elevated. With the introduction of MPPHM (Domestic) 2020, a formal Halal Competency Training (HCT) for your Internal Halal Committee is no longer optional—it is a mandatory requirement that must be fulfilled at least once every three years.
This isn’t just about checking a regulatory box. It’s about transforming your committee from passive administrators into proactive guardians of your organization’s halal integrity. Our Halal Professional Board (HPB) Accredited Halal Competency Training is the definitive program designed to meet this legal mandate while delivering a profound depth of understanding.
We go beyond basic definitions to provide a comprehensive mastery of the Halal ecosystem—from the foundational principles of Halal and Haram to the practical implementation of a robust 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 sacred trust of your consumers.
The Critical Importance of Halal Competency Training
A halal certificate is a commitment, and your Internal Halal Committee is the backbone of that promise. Their competency directly impacts your ability to maintain certification and operate without disruption. This training is essential because it:
Ensures Legal & Certification Compliance: Directly fulfills the mandatory training requirement under MPPHM (Domestic) 2020 and Malaysia Halal Management System (MHMS), a critical factor for JAKIM audits.
Prevents Costful Non-Compliances: Equips your team to identify and rectify potential issues before they lead to major non-conformances, suspensions, or certificate revocation.
Empowers Your Halal Champions: Transforms committee members from uncertain participants into confident, knowledgeable leaders capable of making critical halal-related decisions.
Strengthens Your Halal Assurance System (HAS): Provides the expertise needed to effectively implement, manage, and continuously improve your internal halal controls.
Safeguards Brand Reputation: Demonstrates an unwavering commitment to halal integrity, building unshakeable confidence with Muslim consumers and business partners.
Course Objective: Building a Committee of Confident Experts
The primary objective of this 2-days course is to significantly expand the knowledge and practical competency of Internal Halal Committee members. Participants will gain the expertise required to oversee their organization’s Halal Assurance Management System, ensure ongoing compliance with complex regulations, and serve as the organization’s definitive resource on all halal matters.
