About Us

CAN Academy began as the first barista training academy in Klang, driven by a vision to raise the standards of vocational training in Malaysia. From these early roots, we grew to become an SCA Premier Training Campus and a JPK accredited centre, recognized for our quality trainers, facilities, and programs. Over the years, we expanded into Bandar Sri Damansara and Kota Damansara, making our courses more accessible to communities in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Today, our academies span coffee, green energy, and future AI skills, shaping professionals who are industry ready and globally recognized.
