Fee Protection Scheme & Medical Insurance

Under the EduTrust Certification Scheme, private education providers must adopt a Fee Protection Scheme with the CPE-appointed service providers and provide medical insurance coverage for hospitalisation and related medical treatment throughout the entire course duration.

YEC has adopted the Insurance Scheme facilitated by CPE-appointed service provider, Lonpac Insurance Bhd.
