ANNOUNCEMENT OF FIRST MODELLING SCHOOL OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED IN MALAYSIA BY SKILLS DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Fashion and beauty training school Runway Productions by Catwalk Guru (Runway Productions) officially announced its newly acquired status, effective 1st March 2019, of being the first - and at present, the only - modelling school in Malaysia to be certified by the Skills Development Department (JPK), Ministry of Human Resources (KSM), through the Institute of Image & Cosmetology Industry (IICI), during a press conference held at 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

Representatives from each respective party - namely Tuan Yuslan bin Yasok, from KSM; Dato’ Mike Loh, President of IICI; as well as Benjamin Toong, Founder of Runway Productions - were present to commemorate this momentous occasion, besides coming together to share awareness regarding the importance of the government’s Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) initiatives.

In line with the standards and practices set across the image and cosmetology industries, the IICI, in its capacity as the first government registered body qualified in this field, has monitored and examined the education provided and also training conducted at Runway Productions for several months. 

This included submission of course syllabus and materials for verification, as well as inspection of its school facilities and teaching equipment for certification.

With this credit in hand, Runway Production now aims to train and develop skilled models as well as qualified modelling instructors to meet the market requirements of both our nation and also the world. In accentuation of this endeavour, a standardised system of models’ pricing and market criteria can also be practiced, along with creation of further business opportunities for the industry.

As a result of this accreditation, two of Runway Productions’ personnel are now certified trainers - Toong for the category of adult modelling, and Swing Chan for the kids modelling branch, making them both qualified to provide endorsed training in their respective areas of expertise.

“I have a great team which I’m very proud of, and we have worked very hard these past 13 years, so it’s truly a great honour to have Runway Productions by Catwalk Guru officially certified and be given this recognition. We cannot thank the IICI and KSM enough for trusting us with this responsibility and from here on, we can only work harder to bring our Malaysian modelling industry to a higher level,” shared Toong.

Having gotten the ball to start rolling, Runway Productions also hopes that this step can be a sign of encouragement to all the other fashion and beauty institutions, be it small or big, in the country to get officially certified by the JPK as well, for the betterment and future of the local modelling industry.
