Success StoryThere is a growing need for education and training in Malaysia to help strengthen the local talent and qualifications. Without constant improvement provided by the related parties, industries in Malaysia will remain stagnant.

RANACO group of companies, established in 1984, is recognized as being amongst the pioneer industry player in the maritime and oil & gas industry of Malaysia. Helmed by Captain Dr. Ramlan bin Ramli, RANACO steered to cater the needs of the professionals in this industry. As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced more legislations to regulate the shipping and maritime industry, Captain Dr. Ramlan realized that there was an urgent need to provide appropriate education and training to improve and enhance the competency levels of the players in the industry.

Now, Ranaco Education & Training Institute (RETI), which ia a branch under the RANACO Group, caters to the growing need for allied professionals in the field of maritime, safety, offshore, logistics and hospitality.The remarkable growth that the company has seen was tremendous. Starting fom a mere 15 students during their first of operation in 2004, the institute now sees more than 2,5000 students as of 2013. RETI is the only private college on the East Coast that offers diploma and degree-level training in the span of services that also includes marine engineering, oil and gas, accountancy, and management. Up to date, RETI has a total of twelve diploma programmes and one degree qualification.

The company offers many extra benefits over other competitors. One of it is the qualification it goves out to students. Not only do students receive RETI-certified credentials, they also enjoy the perks of being recognised by the industries’ big players such as PETRONAS, Department of Occupational Safety & Health (DOSH) and the government’s marine department. During their time in training, students will be attached to working enviornments to obtain valuable experience in their related fields of study. RETI furnishes its classes with a myriad of equipment, boasting facilities such as ship simulators, engine room, warehouse services, marine operation and ship maintenance workshops.

With everything going for the institute, RETI managing director, Captain Dr. Ramlan Ramli said that the institution also had its fair share of trials. “The main problem is the inadequate space for our classes. An alternative is to rent a new building to place our students, but that will incur high costs.” Fortunately, in mid-2014, RETI has undertaken a big construction project of building that could carry a maximum capacity of 10,000 students at any given time. RETI also hopes that with this larger capacity, it can focus on providing more executive diploma, degree and long-distance programmes, in hopes of perpetuating the stream of qualified students enterimg the workforce.

Leveraging on the company’s expansion plans, Ramlan said that business should aim to conquer global markets and get international recognition. “Keep planning ahead, and always find ways to stay ten steps ahead of the competitors.”
