History

The German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) was established in 1991.^[2] It is a center for advanced skills training that offers courses with hands-on practicals and theory in the fields of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

The formation of GMI is the result of a joint venture project between the governments of Malaysia and Germany. It is governed by a board of directors composed of ten representatives from the industry and also from government bodies. This institution is set up as a Company Limited by Guarantee whose founders are Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) and the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MGCC). GMI had its first student enrollment in 1992, and the number has continued to grow until now.
