Dear all ex-student of Cos­mo­point Cer­ti­fied Soft­ware Spe­cial­ist (CCSS), please send a copy of your SPM result, Diploma Tran­script, & Diploma Cer­tifi­cate to Kak Zura at najwaassurur@yahoo.com as sson as pos­si­ble as one of the con­di­tion to full­fill LAN certification.

This is due to not hav­ing enough credit to be approved as LAN cer­ti­fied degree program.

And on behalf of first batch and the other released batch of CCSS exes, please full­fill the task men­tioned above.

Thank you,

p.s Please cursed Cos­mo­point at later time.

When we learnt in a Uni­ver­sity or Col­lege under cer­tain courses in Malaysia, the first think we must know is the cer­tifi­cate val­i­da­tion of the course or pro­gram. But there is cases that stu­dent espe­cially from Pri­vate Col­lege tends to dis­re­gard this cer­tifi­cate. In Cos­mo­point Cer­ti­fies Soft­ware Spe­cial­ist (CCSS, also known as Cos­mo­point Cer­ti­fied Spe­cial­ist Pro­gram, CCSP) cases would mostly be the LAN (Lem­baga Akred­i­tasi Negara) certificate.

Why LAN’s Cer­tifi­cate is impor­tant in Malaysia?

“The Lem­baga Akred­i­tasi Negara Act (Act 556) func­tions to ensure that all courses of study and train­ing pro­grammes offered achieve a stan­dard accept­able to the norms and con­ven­tions of a higher insti­tute of edu­ca­tion.“
phrase from here…

In other words, the study cer­tifi­cate that a stu­dent get from any courses with­out approval of LAN’s cer­ti­fi­ca­tion might as well assume that they will face hard­ships in secur­ing a job. It doesn’t meant that the stu­dent won’t get job, but it will be dif­fi­cult to gain one.

In CCSS, many stu­dents fall for the adver­tise­ment “Job-Guaranteed” courses while in cur­rent real­ity, not all the stu­dents end up work­ing in the field they have been study in. And yes, they might not get the job because of they lack of moti­va­tion and knowl­edge. That is part of stu­dents fault them self.

So, pre­pare your­self if you didn’t get a job secured after fin­ish­ing the CCSS courses.

While the above is true, the main dish here is about LAN cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, after nearly 2 years, CCSS pro­gram (or maybe other pro­gram under CCSP; as CCNS, CCDS) have not yet cer­ti­fied by LAN. The first batch sup­pos­edly grad­u­ated last year (yes, absolutely true that the first batch have not yet grad­u­ated when the cur­rent batch are around 23rd), lots of them end up in a dif­fer­ent field of works and one thing for sure, if you striv­ing to work in a gov­ern­ment sec­tor soon, then the “degree” cer­tifi­cate from CCSS aren’t worth your time. With­out the LAN approval, the gov­ern­ment won’t even look at the cer­tifi­cate. I can say this because it happened.

So far, there’s some rumors that the LAN’s peo­ple are com­ing to Cos­mo­point for an obser­va­tion and eval­u­a­tion process to deter­mine either CCSP pro­gram wor­thing for LAN’s cer­tifi­cate or not this Novem­ber. And the sup­pos­edly grad­u­ated are hav­ing their hand crossed for now while keep­ing their anger at bay.

To those who asked about the pro­gram, I hope you will care­fully goes through all the Terms of the pro­gram you choose thor­oughly while I will try my best to give you all the lat­est insight.

Thank you & good luck,
