What

ABCD Training Series is an international collaboration that engages working professionals in sharing personal knowledge and experience. They are not only great in their fields, but they also do class presentations at the personal level of easy understanding and fun.

The high cost of formal education and vocational training severely limit the interest of individuals to actively take part in the class sessions. In empowering the surrounding community, ABCD Training Series offers subjects that focus on the practical creative and entertainment fields, supported by qualified working professionals.

The new variant of subjects is added to the courses from time to time, along with competent and qualified instructors who are invited for each respective field. Participants receive learning quality at a professional level. After several classes, participants through a comprehensive study would be capable enough to perform, obtaining increased opportunities in the working fields.

The inception of the idea was incubated years before 2016 when ABCD Training Series was introduced after long years of trials and struggle. This training series is thought-provoking. The alphabets convey the idea of the acronym of all pre-conceived courses, from A to Z, from Advertising to Zumba.
