Todak Academy

What Todak Academy does

Todak Academy Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution headquartered in Cyberjaya, Selangor, operating as a subsidiary of TODAK Group — a diversified gaming and creative-industry conglomerate that also includes Todak Studios, Todak Gaming, Todak Pay, and Todak Kids. Established in 2020, the academy delivers accredited vocational and short-form education across eight program categories: (1) JPK-accredited SKM Level 3 and DKM Level 4 TVET programs in 3D Production, Game Asset Production, Interactive Multimedia Design, and Creative/3D Animation; (2) Digital Education Programmes for school students (Game Based Learning, AI Robotics, Esport Education, 3D Animakers); (3) Esport Programmes including Todak Apprentice (player training for MLBB, Valorant, PUBG) and Esport Executive (management training); (4) School Holiday Programmes; (5) Short Courses in specialized 3D/animation/design skills; (6) Fundamentals of Software courses in industry-standard tools (Blender, Unity, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Unreal Engine 5); (7) HRD Corp corporate training; and (8) the Todak Kids preschool sub-brand. Programs are delivered primarily on-campus at Cyberjaya, supplemented by online and school-based formats, with industry-professional trainers drawn from working game, film, and television practitioners.

Revenue is generated through one-time tuition and registration fees across individual course enrollments. Pricing spans RM 150-200 for short school programs, RM 700-1,800 for short/esport courses, and RM 11,700-31,850 for multi-month TVET certificate and diploma programs. Eligibility for PTPK loan allowances and the inclusion of hostel accommodation reduce price friction for the higher-ticket TVET offerings. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the academy's website with online registration, consultation requests, and downloadable application forms, complemented by channel partnerships with HRD Corp for corporate buyers and government-agency relationships (MARA, MDEC, JPK) that provide distribution into funded training ecosystems. The institution is privately held with no disclosed external investment and operates within the Malaysian domestic market only.
