T MRT Jakarta has sent two groups of train driving instructors to Malaysia to join a 30-day training program offered by the Rapid Rail Academy Malaysia.
The president director of PT MRT Jakarta, William P Sabandar, said the company had sent its staff members to Malaysia because the country used similar trains.
"We want to make sure that the trainers are qualified to train our drivers," William said on Tuesday as quoted by kompas.com.
During the training, the employees will learn about rolling stock systems and practice operating the trains and arranging the trains in the depot.
They will take examinations conducted by the Malaysia Human Resources Ministry to get certificates from the academy and the Malaysian government, William said.
Apart from that, MRT Jakarta will offer training and provide orientation programs to other employees, William added. (cal)
