(Update 19/1/2018) Housemanship in Malaysia

Hello everyone, I`m back. I am just writing briefly on what I know about housemanship application as far as 15/10/2017 (new: 5/1/2018) (revised: 18/1/2018) .

Number of successful applicants for 2017 intakes

For 2017, there have been several intakes of houseman. Below are rough figures of successful applicants:

May 2017: ~ 1500 applicants were absorbed into the system
July 2017; ~ 1500 applicants

(Both May and July housemen were those  who had attend SPA interview in Feb 2017. They were the last batch who need to undergo interview and  mostly completed their applications around June-Sept 2016)

Sept 2017: ~ 200+ applicants (mainly those who have completed their SPA application by 25 January 2017)
Oct 2017:~ 700 applicants (mainly those who have completed their SPA application by 10 April 2017)
Nov 2017: ~ 500 applicants (mainly those who have completed their SPA application by 31 May 2017)

Jan 2018: ~900 applicants (mainly those who have completed their SPA application by 13 August 2017) 

Where do I get this information?
You can frequently check the e-houseman website whenever they announce for an intake. KKM will mention on the website that particular intake is for those who has completed their SPA application by certain date. Regarding number of applicants for each intake, usually you get this info/rumours from your friends/ KKM staff/ FB and Whatsapp for awaiting HO that you have joined. Below are example from e-houseman website for Oct intake.


This is for Nov intake 😊

This is for Jan 2018 intake 

Hopefully this will give us an idea of the current situation. I am still waiting for my intake (completed my SPA application on 3rd of July 2017) >>  Finally I'm include for Jan 2018 intake ðŸ˜œ roughly 6 months of waiting since I completed my SPA applications. Feel free to ask/ share any info in the comment box below with regards to current update for 2017 Housemanship intake. Wish you all the best!

I sent my application directly to KKM office in Putrajaya. What to expect when you`re there?

  1. Do make sure you have somebody with you if you`re planning to drive to KKM office. It is hard to find parking there, so another person can wait in the car while you go to submit your documents.
  2. You will need to leave your IC/ driving licence at the reception counter before you`re given a visiting pass.
  3. Take the lift to level 9 and go to bahagian sumber manusia, unit pengurusan dan profesional.

What Next
You can ask for help from SPA staffs to check for completion of your application form once you submitted. (refer to contact details below).

For 2017 application, there will be no more interview. So next step is to wait for an email from KKM letting you know of your ehouseman application date. You will be notify once ehouseman system is ready for your intake. Ehouseman application is where you apply for your placement/ workplace. This is also an online application.

As for 2017, there have been approximately 3200+ applicants been accepted. 1500 applicants in May 2017 intake; 1500 applicants in July 2017 intake ; 200+ for Sept 2017 intake. September intake is those who has completed their SPA application by 25 Jan 2017. There will be another intake this month (Oct 2017) for those who has completed their SPA application by 10 April 2017. You can get this information from ehouseman website from time to time.
