Abstract

The focus of this study is to identify and evaluate the criteria of instructors who conduct entrepreneurship training for the Malaysian Skills Certificate (MSC) training program. A total of 6 subject matter experts were selected as respondents to the study using the Fuzzy Delphi method. They consist of MSC instructors as well as entrepreneurship training from several training institutions. Several criteria were taken into account during the selection such as designation, level of education, expertise, work experience in the field of TVET training and entrepreneurship. Their selection is balanced between MSC training and entrepreneurship training. A questionnaire containing 8 items was given to all experts. The results of the evaluation by all respondents found that all these components and items have been accepted for use. Overall, they think that these instructor criteria can increase awareness, increase competence and can produce entrepreneurs among MSC trainees when the training is over.
