Informatics with a new strategy

Last weekend, I was at Informatics Penang for the CUTE exam.

I was bored, waiting for my driver to come. The receptionist seemed bored too. So i kinda chat with her a bit. The used to be an Informatics center at the Taman Inderawasih at Seberang Jaya. The last time i passed by, was surprised to see it no longer there. Even the signboard has been removed. Later, rumors says that Informatics is going out-of-business soon. So I decided to ask the receptionist about this.

According to the lady, Informatics nowadays changed strategy - they will move away from offering courses for individuals. Rather, the penang branch will concentrate on providing corporate trainings courses. The courses for individual students will be all gradually transferred to KL branch and only available there.

Guess it was a smart move coz the margin is typically higher for corporate business as compared to individual business. For those which are HRDF claimable, it wont be surprising if it is priced even higher.

With so much competition around, colleges, institutes, learning center.... It seems to me that Informatics is struggling for survival. Glory days no longer.....
