Politeknik SSR

What Politeknik SSR does

Politeknik SSR (Politeknik Sains Seni Rekakreasi) is a private vocational polytechnic institution headquartered in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, operating since 2019 with roots tracing back to SSR Manchester (1980) and SSR Jakarta (2011). The institution delivers D3 and D4 diploma programs across six disciplines: D4 Animation, D4 Tourism Destination, D3 Visual Communication Design, D4 Film & Television, D4 Management Hotel, and D4 Robotics & AI, targeting Indonesian vocational students from SMA/SMK backgrounds. Enrollment occurs through an online portal (PMB Online) supplemented by participation in education exhibitions such as Pameran Pendidikan Jakarta and Edufest Rekakreasi events.

The institution was designated by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (Kemenko Perekonomian) as Indonesia's Center of Excellence in Virtual Reality, with operational supervision from Kementerian Perindustrian via BPSDMI and development support from GIZ Indonesia. Its technology stack centers on immersive technology (VR, AR, XR, MR, Motion Capture), virtual production workflows using Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, Blender, and Adobe tools, RFID-based security and tracking systems, and the Flexing 360 virtual tour platform. Commercial technology products include VR simulators (Truck, Forklift, Electricity VR Car), the RFID Elite Security System (deployed at Kemenko Polkam), and a catalogue of VR/AR projects for government and corporate clients. On-campus facilities include film production studios, virtual production greenrooms, and audio production labs supporting an industry-on-campus teaching factory model.

Revenue is generated through three streams: tuition and academic fees from diploma programs (subscription recurring), professional services from VR/AR/RFID technology development for government institutions including PUSPEN TNI, Kemenko Polkam, and corporate clients such as ST Engineering Singapore and Marigold Garden, and workshop/training services priced at Rp 50,000 per session. Distribution combines direct online enrollment, the BPSDMI vocational education network, international university partnerships (St. Paul University Manila, MCNP-ISAP, Universitas Diponegoro), and direct project engagement for technology services. The institution maintains 21 employees and operates two sub-brands: SSR BizTech (technology and creative business) and Flexing 360 (virtual tour platform).
