Implemented since 1980, the MTCP was
formulated based on the belief that the development of a country depends on
the quality of its human resources. The programme consolidates the various
forms of technical cooperation that had been extended by Malaysia
to other developing countries since the 1960s and organizes technical
cooperation activities on a systematic and sustained basis. Hence, the MTCP
emphasizes the development of human resources through the provision of
training in various areas which are essential for a country's development
such as public administration, agriculture development, development
planning, poverty alleviation, investment promotion, central banking and
English language.
Through these cooperative efforts, Malaysia's bilateral ties with MTCP
member countries was strengthened, with many supporting Malaysia's
philosophy of promoting smart partnerships, regional cooperation such as
that of ASEAN-East Asia and a united South-South position. The MTCP is
implemented through several cooperation programmes such as training in both
short and long-term courses; study visits and practical attachment;
advisory services through the dispatch of experts; and project-type
assistance which includes the provision of equipment and assistance
in-kind, on a highly selective and case-by-case basis.
The CAC is the designated institution for conducting specialized training
in college's area of expertise - Civil Aviation in general, but more
specifically in the field of Air Traffic Management. The first
international course was conducted in 1984 by the AFRS
School. The first international
course was conducted by the School
of ATC in 1989 for AFTN
operators. In 1989, the first ATC course, An Approach Control (Non Radar)
course was conducted.
Since 1989, the CAC has trained more than 270 controllers from 44 countries in a range of ATC courses.
