Earlier on 19 August 2016 in conjunction with the closing ceremony of HRDF Train The Trainer Certification Program, ICIFE signed MoC with CRESCENT at IIUM Jalan Duta Campus. This MoU has provided opportunities for ICIFE to use CRESCENT facilities to conduct its trainings, workshops and seminars in addition to usage of facilities at IIBF.
