CSM Academy International, a prominent private education institution in healthcare, is set to open a new branch in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in February 2026. This expansion aims to address the growing need for skilled healthcare professionals in the region by offering a range of short courses initially, followed by comprehensive diploma programmes later in the year.
The Johor Bahru branch will initially provide short courses such as the Clinic Assistant Series, Phlebotomy, and Caregivers courses, which have been successful in Singapore. These courses are designed to equip learners with practical skills that are immediately applicable in the healthcare industry. As the branch develops, it will introduce CSM Academy’s full suite of programmes, including core healthcare qualifications and courses in Tourism and Hospitality.
By late 2026, the branch plans to launch diploma programmes in Healthcare Management and Individual Support (Aging & Disability). These qualifications aim to prepare students to meet the needs of the global ageing population. Lynn Chow, CEO of CSM Academy International, stated, “Expanding into Johor Bahru allows us to extend our commitment to quality healthcare education beyond Singapore.”
The establishment of CSM Academy Malaysia highlights the institution’s dedication to fostering capable healthcare workers across Southeast Asia. Founded in 2005, CSM Academy is known for its high standards in healthcare education and is accredited by SkillsFuture Singapore and EduTrust.
