School of Professional and Continuing Education, or better known as UTMSpace is an incorporated responsibility centre that functions as a corporate body responsible to plan, manage and implement lifelong learning programmes for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

In the early years of its establishment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, School of Professional and Continuing Education (UTMSPACE) offered professional development programmes such as short courses, seminars, workshops and in-house training. However, due to an overwhelming demand for part-time and full-time educational programmes in both private and public sectors, UTMSPACE took the initiative of offering mainstream academic programmes starting from the academic year 1995/96. Currently, the Academic Programmes offer the courses at Diploma and Undergraduate level, in line with the courses offered by the various Faculties at UTM. For customers’ convenience, the classes are conducted at 17 learning centres all over the country.

UTMSPACE Professional Programmes offer various soft skills and technical skills short courses. Tailor-made short courses designed based on specific organisation’s needs are also available. UTM Professional Skills Certificate programmes are offered to fulfil the industry’s demands for graduates who are competent in all aspects. These programmes are value-added courses for future graduates, giving them a competitive edge when they venture into the employment market. UTMSPACE also offers event management services, organising series of seminars and conferences at national and international levels.

In tandem with its mission to provide quality continuing education services, UTMSPACE also offers Professional Diploma programmes and English Language programmes. Professional Diploma programmes are targeted at employees who want to improve their knowledge and skills. English Language programmes aim to help local and international students to improve their English Language proficiency as a preparation for continuing their undergraduate or postgraduate studies at the faculties. The language programme is also open to all members of the local public and working adults who wish to improve their communicative English skills at the workplace.
