Microsoft Excel and Office training in Kuching — delivered at your office
Excel, Power BI, Copilot and Microsoft Project, taught to your team in Kuching or anywhere in Sarawak, on your own files.
Covering Kuching, Kota Samarahan, Serian, Sri Aman, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.
Kuching employers who want their people trained in Excel, Power BI or Copilot usually face the same choice: wait for a scheduled class that suits the dates, or send staff to Kuala Lumpur and absorb the flights, the hotels and the days out of the office. For a team of more than a few people there is a third option that is often simpler — bring the trainer to Kuching and train everyone together at your own premises.
That is what this site arranges. The course runs at your office or a venue in Kuching, on dates you choose, and the exercises are built from your own spreadsheets, reports and processes. The same applies to teams elsewhere in Sarawak, from Samarahan and Serian to Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.
What Sarawak teams ask for most
Excel is the starting point for most organisations in Kuching, because it is where most reporting in the state still lives — monthly management reports, stock and claims registers, project trackers and returns to head office. A two-day Basic to Advanced course moves a mixed team from data entry to PivotTables and a working dashboard.
Teams that already work comfortably in Excel usually move next to Advanced Excel or Power BI, to stop rebuilding the same reports by hand every month. Copilot is the newer request, from organisations that have Microsoft 365 licences and want people to use them well and safely. Microsoft Project suits the engineering, construction and oil-and-gas teams in Bintulu and Miri that run scheduled work.
Why Microsoft 365 skills matter in Sarawak now
In June 2022 the Government of Sarawak announced a partnership with Microsoft to digitalise the public sector and build digital skills across the state. Organisations that have since moved onto Microsoft 365 have the tools; what they often lack is people confident enough to use them fully — Excel for analysis rather than typing, Power BI for shared dashboards, and Copilot for everyday drafting and summaries.
In-house training fits that gap well, because the whole team learns one way of working together, on the files they already use in Kuching, rather than one person at a time.
What HRD Corp covers when the trainer flies in
If your company pays the HRD Corp levy, a general in-house course is claimable up to RM10,500 per group for a full day under the January 2026 Allowable Cost Matrix — per group, not per person, so a full room in Kuching makes the claim go furthest.
Travel is covered too. The matrix states that “external trainers from other towns … will be allowed to claim for airfare”, and a trainer travelling 100km or more can claim a daily allowance of up to RM500, or the actual rate paid if lower. For courses in Sibu, Bintulu or Miri, well over 100km from Kuching, that applies to the trainer’s travel within Sarawak as well.
Training across Sarawak
Courses are delivered at your premises wherever your team is. For organisations with staff in several towns, the usual options are one course in Kuching with branch staff travelling in, or separate batches in each town on consecutive days so nobody travels except the trainer.
| Where your team is | Usual arrangement |
|---|---|
| Kuching, Samarahan, Serian | At your premises or a Kuching venue |
| Sri Aman and Betong divisions | At your premises, or combined with a Kuching batch |
| Sibu | At your premises; trainer travel quoted separately |
| Bintulu and Miri | At your premises, often as batches on consecutive days |
How a Kuching course is arranged
You send a short request with the topic, the number of people and the rough timing. A scoping call follows to understand the team’s level and the files they work with, and a short skills check goes to participants so the trainer knows where the group actually is.
You then receive a written quote and dates. If you are claiming from HRD Corp, the grant application goes in before the training, naming the course, the provider, the dates and the participants. The course is delivered at your office in Kuching or wherever your team is, and the claim follows with attendance records and the invoice.
Courses available in Kuching

Microsoft Power BI
Two days, at your office, ending with a report built on your own data and published for the people who need to see it.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
One day at your office, on your own documents and meetings, so Copilot becomes part of the working week instead of a novelty.

Questions
›Can Excel training be delivered at our office in Kuching?
Yes. Tell us the topic, how many people and your preferred dates, and the trainer delivers at your premises or a venue in Kuching. Each participant works on a laptop with Excel installed.
›Is it worth training in-house for a small team in Sarawak?
HRD Corp allows in-house training from 2 trainees, with the fee cap prorated below 5. For one or two people a scheduled class may cost less; from about five, in-house usually works out cheaper per person, especially once flights to a class elsewhere are counted.
›Can the training be conducted in Bahasa Melayu?
Mention it when you request a quote and we will look for a trainer who delivers in Bahasa Melayu. The software menus stay in English, so the common arrangement is explanation in Bahasa Melayu over English screens.

Microsoft Excel from basic to advanced, Advanced Excel with Power Query and automation, Power BI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Automate and Microsoft Project — all delivered in-house.
