Why Ker Academy exists
Some of them turned waste into products, and some grew a small idea into a real business.
You won’t find them on any Forbes list, but they have built something real here in Malaysia, and that is not easy.
Ker Academy lets you learn from these people directly. What they teach works here, because they learned it here.
About
Ker Academy is a place where people who have really done the work share what they know with people who want to learn it.
You don’t get a recorded course. You get the actual person, and you can book them for a masterclass, a workshop, a talk, one-on-one advice, or a visit to the place where they work.
Richard Ker checks every expert personally. Sessions can be online or in person, and because Ker Academy is an HRD Corp registered training provider, your company can claim eligible sessions.
What you can book
